#2624 Mink Deville - Cabretta

Dude's got personality. Sounding exactly like John Fogerty, Van Morrison, Mick Jagger et al, in turn, is a distracting handicap. But somewhere under there Willy Deville's got his own thing going, backed by a rich soul pulse that was totally out of step with the scene he got lumped into.  The album sounds like a clumsily put together 70's mixtape, but the fact there's one dude behind it's a weird little slice of inspiration that's worth basking in 3.5/5
