The Neville Brothers — Yellow Moon | DeRank™: 0,00

There was a time when, even in Italy, the family fairy tale of the Neville Brothers was recounted in every specialized magazine, celebrated in (almost) every record store, and disseminated in the manic and economical form of self-recorded cassettes.
It was the time of "Yellow Moon," the blessed year of 1989...
A pleasant souvenir, even though there's a bit of bitterness for what today seems like unfulfilled promises. (cit.rockol.it) more
