“WHEN you’re born there’s music, when you die there’s music,” explains Aaron Neville of his city’s culture in the new documentary Take Me To The River: New Orleans. Like director Martin Shore’s previous film about Memphis music, this sequel records torch-passing collaborations between New Orleans generations, with Irma Thomas and Dr John among its iconic participants. Most poignantly, it includes the swansong of the four Neville Brothers, before the deaths of Charles (in 2018) and Art (2019).
