Big Easy Fantasy
''Big Easy Fantasy'' is an album by Willy DeVille and the Mink DeVille Band. It was released in Europe on the French New Rose label in 1995. The album is a mixture of studio tracks and concert recordings made in New York and Paris. The "big easy" of the album's title refers to New Orleans. As the album cover says, the inspiration for the album was "Jump City, the Crescent City, the city that care forgot, New Orleans...The Big Easy!" All songs on the album are standards by New Orleans musicians or are original compositions by Willy DeVille about some aspect of New Orleans.
==Background==
In the mid-1990s, Willy DeVille did not have a recording contract with an American label, but he was very popular in Europe in the wake of his successful 1992 "New Orleans Revue" tour of the continent and his 1993 European tour with the Mink DeVille Band (which resulted in 1993's ''Willy DeVille Live''.) The "New Orleans Revue" came about after DeVille recorded Victory Mixture, a tribute album of cover versions of New Orleans R&B and soul songs. The Revue comprised Willy DeVille, The Mink DeVille Band, and guest musicians Dr John, Johnny Adams, Zachary Richard, and The Wild Magnolias. DeVille said about the tour, "The travel, buses, and planes and the accommodations had to be some of the worst I've ever experienced, but the shows themselves were great. At the end of each show we'd throw Mardi Gras rows out to the audience, you know strands of purple and gold beads, and they'd never seen anything like it and they loved it.”〔Marcus, Richard (2006) (“Interview: Willy DeVille.” ) (Leap in the Dark (a blog). ) (Retrieved 4-6-08.)〕
''Big Easy Fantasy'' presents live recordings of The Mink DeVille Band playing with New Orleans legends Eddie Bo and The Wild Magnolias; some remixes from the ''Victory Mixture'' sessions; and "Voodoo Charm," a cut previously heard on 1992's ''Backstreets of Desire'' album. "Teasing You," "Beating Like a Tom-Tom," and ”Who Shot the La-La” are also on the ''Victory Mixture'' album, but have slightly different horn arrangements and background vocals. "Just Off Decatur Street," recorded during the ''Victory Mixture'' sessions and remixed later on, appears only on ''Big Easy Fantasy''.
