Okay I'm confused about the cross-pollination situation her.

From e-music description of a Cryril Neville album-

"This record really cooks. Cyril Neville definitely has the right recipe." - Fats Domino.

Having performed as a sideman on albums by Bob Dylan, Jimmy Buffett, Willie Nelson, Robbie Robertson, and Daniel Lanois, Cyril's roots can be traced to the legendary Meters. While the Meters never broke into the mainstream, their sound influenced much of the funk and hip-hop of the '80s and '90s. In 1976, the Meters disbanded, but along with their brothers Aaron, Art and Charles, they once again joined forces to form the internationally renowned Neville Brothers, the "Uptown Rulers" of New Orleans funk and R&B.

In a tribute to the Patron Saint of New Orleans R&B, Professor Longhair, the youngest of the Neville Brothers has created a masterpiece of classic New Orleans tunes. These songs, originally recorded by legends such as Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Benny Spellman, Chris Kenner and Eddie Bo, New Orleans Cookin' features some of the Crescent City's finest player. Allen Toussaint, Eddie Bo, "Mean" Willie Green, Marva Wright, and James Andrews join Cyril to create the best New Orleans tribute album since Dr. John's Gumbo.
