Willy DeVille "Live From The Pier 2 in Bremen Germany" 2008 - disc

Willy DeVille, actually William Paul Borsey Jr., was born on August 25, 1950 in Stamford, Connecticut. He married for the first time at the age of 17 and went to London at the age of 21 to find suitable musicians for a band...
...The search was unsuccessful and he returned to the USA completely broke. In 1974 he founded Mink DeVille in San Francisco. The band moved to New York and became the house band of the legendary CBGB. Through the performances at CBGB, Mink DeVille began working with Jack Nitzsche in 1975, a producer who had already worked with Phil Spector, Neil Young and the Rolling Stones. The band achieved their international breakthrough in 1977 with the hit “Spanish Stroll”. Several albums followed, the critics applauded, but unfortunately there was no widespread success. The band Mink DeVille broke up, Willy DeVille moved to New Orleans and started his solo career. In 1987 his song "Storybook Love", produced by Mark Knopfler, was nominated for an Oscar for best film score...to be continued...
