"Masterpiece".

musical endeavors, plus I wanted the music to be taken on its own merit,"
Neville says.

"It's own merits" included a recent sold out show at the legendary Write Off
Room in Los Angeles and almost 200,000 views on YouTube for his song
"Masterpiece" with "Susie Darlin'" climbing right up behind it.

Trevor says, I loved "Susie Darlin'" since I was a little boy. It's a timeless
tune musically and lyrically, and a thrill for me to honor it and bring to new
listeners."
