Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving further away from his CBGB punk roots, Willy DeVille fully embraces Latin-infused R&B and romantic, rootsy pop-rock on his fifth studio album. 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' is characterized by lush, heavily orchestrated production and deeply passionate, street-wise balladry. It produced the massive European hit 'Demasiado Corazon', solidifying his massive cult status on the continent.
