Live in Berlin
Willy Deville is the founder, leader and principal songwriter of the band Mink DeVille. The band came out of the mid-70's New York punk scene but first broke in the UK with their hit Spanish Stroll in 1977. Their music belied their punk routes and mixed soul with R & B, blues and Cajun influences. The band continued to release albums through to the mid-80's when Willy began to perform and record under his own name. His solo single Storybook Love was nominated for an Oscar after it appeared in the film The Princess Bride.Willy's latest incarnation is the Willy DeVille Acoustic Trio who have been receiving great reviews for their concerts across Europe this year. Willy is joined in the Trio by David Keyes and Seth Farber. This album, recorded live in Berlin in March 2002, is their first recording. As a bonus, there are eight tracks on disc two recorded by the still active Mink DeVille band in Stockholm.
