Album Notes & Community Reviews

Remaining closely affiliated with the CBGB scene despite their distinct stylistic differences from standard punk, Mink DeVille's sophomore album dives deeper into romantic, street-corner R&B. Willy DeVille's gritty, highly stylized vocal delivery is backed by lush strings and classic soul arrangements.
