ORLEANS RECORDS 1990 OR1001
Victory Mixture is a 1990 album by Willy DeVille.
The album consists of cover versions of New Orleans
R&B and soul classics by DeVille’s musical idols.
Trouser Press said about the album, “A rootsy covers collection,
Victory Mixture provides a welcome antidote to Miracle's
misguided modernity, making the most of the singer's relocation
to New Orleans with backup from such local legends
as Allen Toussaint, Eddie Bo and Dr. John."Victory Mixture is
unusual in that it was recorded without the use of overdubbing
or sound editing, the idea being to record the songs in the same
manner as they were recorded originally in the 1950s
and early 1960s — without soundboard technology.
