Everybody loves Neal, and his bubbling-over personality is once again the driving force on his latest hit, “It’s On the Way.” Accompanied by a tambourine-driven rhythm that sounds straight from the musical Stomp, Neal announces that he’s “hangin’ out at the Blackberry camp” (gospel music camp – now THERE’s an idea!). The stomp transitions to a mid-tempo quartet strut as Neal performs call-and-response with the choir. Hitting the homestretch, the ensemble breaks into full vocal gallop.

“It’s On the Way” is three performances in one, each section more engaging than the previous.
