They include performances on The Today Show on Jan. 23 and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Jan. 29, a featured interview on NPR’s Morning Edition that will be broadcast on the album’s release date of Jan. 22, an interview on PBS’ Tavis Smiley that will air in February, a performance for the Yahoo! Music series “The Sessions” that will be posted on Jan. 21 and a performance for NPR’s “Free At Noon” concert series that will broadcast live from Philadelphia’s World Café on Jan. 18.
NPR will also host an exclusive “First Listen” of My True Story today through the album’s release.
In addition, PBS will air the special Aaron Neville: Doo Wop: My True Story
— a concert filmed in November at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl — in March
2013. For the show, Neville was joined by guitarist Greg Leisz and Neville Brothers’ saxophonist Charles Neville, among others. Neville was also joined by special guests Paul Simon, Joan Osborne,
Eugene Pitt of the Jive Five (who co-wrote the album's title song), and
Dickie Harmon from the Del-Vikings.
My True Story
finds Neville revitalizing some of his favorite songs from the doo-wop
era and beyond, including “Tears on My Pillow” and “Under the
Boardwalk,” and performing them in his inimitable vocal style. The album
was produced by Blue Note Records President Don Was and Keith Richards,
who also contributes his signature guitar playing throughout the album.
To Neville these songs weren't just the soundtrack to his youth; they
became the underpinning for all of the remarkable music he has created
across five decades.
