This is a great album by Mink Deville. His last release before dropping the name "Mink Deville" and embarking on a solo career as Willy Deville, which would prove to be a brilliant move, he became a huge draw as an artist in Europe. This 1985 release has some great blues tracks such as "Something Beautiful Dying", "Easy Street", "Slip Away", "Italian Shoes", and "In The Heart Of The City". The single that got most of the airplay was "I Must Be Dreaming", a good song with a great guitar solo. Any of Mink Deville / Willy Deville releases are well worth buying because he truly is an artist in the approach he takes with every song he writes & performs. Music was his life and that alone should tell you how each song he worked on meant to him. Willy Deville passed away in August 2009 and he will be missed by fellow artists and fans of the blues...RIP Willy, your fans will always remember you...

In my humble opinion this is a great record. Any record from Willy is awesome... this one maybe not the best, but it is absolutely wonderful. Someone don't like the sound just because of some synthetizer, but all the songs are fantastic and Willy is singing at his best. You can't miss any of W-M DeVille's records, everyone is worth much more of the cost.

Willy doesn't like this album, I have this album because i have all albums of Willy, is not the best, all people knows, this cd is only for fans.....
