Production


Yellow Moon was produced by Daniel Lanois. It was recorded in New Orleans, in a vacated apartment.




Critical reception



Robert Christgau wrote: "Whether isolating rhythm-makers, adding electronic atmosphere, or recontextualizing 'natural'-seeming instrumental effects ... Lanois isn't afraid to go for drama, and while drama does have a way of palling eventually, the songs are worth the risk." Spin thought that "instead of running from the bayou backbeat ... the Nevilles let the funky rhythms flow where they may." USA Today opined that "cynics will say that Lanois has thrown out the baby with the bathwater, but that ignores the fact that 'My Blood' and 'Wild Injun' rock with subtlety, and that Yellow Moon is an adventurous stretch for a band that can boogie in its sleep."
