After the Meters and his years with the Neville Brothers, Cyril (the youngest of those brothers) launched his own Endangered Species label and just kept cranking out the funky New Orleans R&B, spicing it up with African rhythms and infusing it with sharp social commentary. The "Essential" release here brings you "Love Has Got to Win," "Calling All Souls," "New Orleans Cookin’," "The Road to Unity," "Can’t Stop a Dreamer," "Funkaliscious," "More Professor Longhair," "Ayiti" and more of his very best Endangered Species tracks. "Complete" brings you all those plus "Fortune Teller," "Sick and Tired," "Break the Things," "Genocide," "Congo Square," "Up Against the Wall," "Medicine," "Confirmed Reservation," "I Was the One"…5 CDs drawing from his albums "New Orleans Cookin’," "Soulo," "The Fire This Time" and more! World Order.
