Editorial Reviews

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 worldwide with their 1977 hit Spanish Stroll. Their music belied their punk roots and mixed soul with R & B, blues and Cajun influences. The band continued to release albums until 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.

Filmed at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in autumn 2005, Live In The Lowlands is the first-ever live DVD from Willy DeVille. The show took place on the tour for his most recent album, Crow Jane Alley, and includes performances that span both his solo career and his years with Mink DeVille. The DVD also includes a brand new interview with Willy as a bonus feature.

3.0 out of 5 stars "He's a Conjure Man", April 19, 2006

This review is from: Willy Deville: Live in the Lowlands (DVD)

Back at his good old Paradiso venue, he appears onstage with a limp, a cane, a mouthful of something that may have once been teeth and a nose that veers stage right. Then he opens his mouth to sing and he becomes the most beautiful man on Earth. He has reinvented himself more times than Madonna, yet with a soul that lacks any and all narcissism. He is the original "Slave to Love". His blues roots go so damn deep. He's the real deal with his Delta Daddy growl on "Muddy Waters Rose From the Mississippi Mud". He surrounds himself with flawless musicians (say hullo to Hook Herrera, ladies!) who still keep their eye on him because they are never sure what he's gonna do in the middle of a song...pretty delightful and fresh after all these years. Sadly, the camera work is cheesy and amateurish with the best shots of him quiet and still or from behind a mic or in between drums.

Highlights were a breathtaking version of "Let it Be Me" which

left me sobbing uncontrollably, doing that hiccup thing and the interviews at the end were wonderful and full of endearing characters. There's been some hard living and good stories shared here...(Plus, who can resist the segment of him in bed with the green caftan and his sweet, pale chest!?) Willy DeVille endures as an elegant and noble ruin.

This is an amazing DVD, not only great music performed live by DeVille along with his terrific band, but beautiful "up close and personal" interviews capturing Willy's heart and passion. He is a lovely man.

This is one of the best concert DVDs I own. Very good audio and the camera work is just fine. Willy's performance is totally satisfying for us long time fans.
