Aaron Neville is one of the greatest ballad singers of the English-speaking world, but he has one tragic flaw--he's a poor judge of material. Neville's quivering high tenor is capable of truly complex emotions, but he has an inexplicable fondness for songs that reduce emotions to the simplest sentimentality. The singer's strengths and weaknesses are both on display on this solo album, "The Tattooed Heart." His translucent voice is in great shape, but the bulk of the album was written by such Hollywood hacks as Diane Warren, Greg Prestopino, and Phil Galdston, whose cutesy melodies are matched by their lackluster rhythms and clichéd lyrics. When Neville gets a good song, however, the results are magnificent. With help from his siblings Charles and Cyril, Aaron turns Bill Withers' old R&B hit, "Use Me," into a second-line Neville Brothers number. Aaron and Willie Nelson's harmonica whiz Mickey Raphael brings a similar swamp-funk feel to Dennis Linde's song, "Down Into Muddy Water." Following up on the success of his '93 country album, The Grand Tour, Aaron mixes regret and affection on Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times" (a 1970 hit for Ray Price). Best of all is Aaron's shivering falsetto lead on a remake of Sonny Til & the Orioles' "Crying in the Chapel." --Geoffrey Himes

Beautiful all the way around.......2007-07-06

Very few people were blessed with a voice like Aaron Neville's. I could probably listen to him singing a Denny's menu and be happy, but I like it best when he chooses songs with some serious emotion behind them. He's got several here from the opening "Rain Song" to the closing standard, "Crying in the Chapel." In between, there's "Muddy Waters" and a wonderful cover of Ray Price's "For the Good times." Overall, very well done.

This one will tatooed your heart with joy and happiness........2006-01-10

Aaron Neville has a voice like few artists in his category. This CD kicks you right into a happy mood with Track 1 Can`t stop my heart from loving you (The Rain Song) and hold you with a soulgrip all trough the CD, with some minor letdown`s, which doesn`t give this a 5 star. Track 3 Everyday of My Life is anyway a very sensitive song with the soulshivering voice that is Aaron Neville`s trademark.
There are also a complete different tour on this one with the bluesy Track 4 Down Into Muddy Water. Outstanding listen.
But the ballads. Oh the ballads. That`s what doing this CD.
Neville does`nt have to say more that a couple of humming
and the voice touches you. There are very much description of rain , sunshine, and thunder in the songwriting on this one,but isn`t that much of the changin moods that our`e everyday life got alltrough the night and day ? Track 10 Use Me is a style break, and the weakest track. Booring in a way. The last Track 14 Crying in the Chapel is as near heaven and angels than Elvis Presely had done with his version. Anyway this one will tatooed your heart and soul with joy and happiness. Stylish and well polished music and very relaxable to listen to. Very useable as a lullabye or a wake up call from the softside this one.

MY VOTE : SONG 10 AND SOUND 9........1999-07-13

This album is a 'Science Of Relaxation' that contains many various steps of music. Most listeners can touch the rhythm of softness from 'SOME DAYS ARE MADE FOR RAIN' and obtain the warmhearted feel from 'EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE' and many feels getting from its another songs...

Critics forgot to mention "Why Should I Fall in Love".......1999-03-04

Yes, "Muddy Water" is great on this album, but the second half includes a rendition of "Why Should I Fall in Love?" that Neville performs to perfection. In fact, his version surpasses the original.
