Backstreets of Desire [Import] (CD)

DESCRIPTION Digitally remastered edition of this 1992 album from the late singer/songwriter and former leader of Mink Deville. After resuscitating his career with 1990's Victory Mixture, Willy DeVille followed it up two years later with what is widely regarded as his greatest achievement as both songwriter and performer. We've tracked down the original photographers and the result is a beautifully illustrated booklet with sleevenotes from Garth Cartwright, who has interviewed the producer and many of the musicians involved. This album contains some of Willy's best songs, including 'Jump City' and 'Bamboo Road'. a standout track is the mariachi version of Hendrix's 'Hey Joe' which was released as a single and charted in several European countries. Tracks 1 Empty Heart 2 All in the Name of Love 3 Lonely Hunter 4 Even While I Sleep 5 Voodoo Charm 6 Come to Poppa 7 Chemical Warfare 8 Hey Joe 9 I Call Your Name 10 I Can Only Give You Everything 11 Jump City 12 Bamboo Road 13 All in the Name of Love (Salvation Army Version)
