Backstreets Of Desire

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 607214) Big Beat (UK), 1992 — Condition: New Copy

A ridiculously under-appreciated album from Willy Deville in the early 90s – one that finds the New Orleans-transplant at his most impassioned in the song writing realm! Backstreets Of Desire utilizes the various sounds of the Crescent City, from swampy soul and funk, to zydeco and rootsy rock – but it's the songs and Willy's gritty vocals that stand out strongest. Anthems of loneliness and ornerier groovers alike. Produced by Willy DeVille and John Phillip Shenale for the most part, with a couple cuts produced by Dr John. Includes "Empty Heart", "All In The Name Of Love", "Lonely Hunter", "Even While I Sleep", "Come To Poppa". Chemical Warfare", "I Call Your Name", "Jump City", "Bamboo Road", "All In The Name Of Love (Salvation Army Version)" and more.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
