From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

the real thing

I have the first two Mink DeVile discs remastered on one disc and had forgotten ChatBleu. I may go and try to find it.
I also have a solo album, Victory Mixture, from 1990, recorded in New Orleans with Dr John, Allen Toussaint, Leo Nocentelli, Willie Bo, George Porter... mmm and a lot of others.
To me, its good, but perhaps not AS good as the New York sounding stuff.
Being in a room with that band back at the end of the 70s, or even, I guess, just watching tem on stage, you could tell they had an edge... an authenticity if you like, about them.
That doo wop-py emotional pachuco teen-opera stuff was wasn't all goofy and Disneyish back in the day and Mink DeVille really had that in them.
I see he is still recording and playing, which is cool.
