Willy was always so original and not many people cared or got it but I always did! Even when I was 16 I knew he was amazing! I like the way he put his own spin on an old time sound...he knew that some times and oldie is always a goody you just got to do it RIGHT, make it your own!
Love this one, too. Which CD is this on? I'm a new Mink/Willy DeVille fan. Where's the best online store to his albums? Thank you for your help, friends.
I can honestly say this version stands up to the original by the Jive Bombers.From his best album ever which almost wasn't released here in the states. It finally was released about a year later after it came out in France I believe. Typical American record company BS. Incredible backing band on this.The Elvis rhythm section + Steve Douglas on Sax along with willys guitar player and keys. A STONED CLASSIC!
Used in the 1983 remake of BREATHLESS. Opening sequence, a drunk Richard Gere stumbles out of a Vegas bar.

@strandwolf Yes, I just listened to Sahm's cover, and it's very compelling. Had never heard of him before.
