''Crow Jane Alley'' is an album by Willy DeVille. It was recorded in 2004 in Los Angeles. For this album, DeVille was joined by members of the Chicano rock band Quetzal, David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, and Peruvian Afro-Cuban jazz drummer Alex Acuña, among other prominent musicians. ''Crow Jane Alley'' was produced by John Philip Shenale, the third album Shenale produced for DeVille. == Reviews == Trouser Press said of the album: :(DeVille) begins ''Crow Jane Alley'' on a dubious note with "Chieva," an ambivalent song about recovering from heroin addiction, but then turns his attention to romance and gets it all right. His renditions of Bryan Ferry's "Slave to Love" and Jay and the Americans' "Come a Little Bit Closer" bring their own drama and gravity to the material, while such homemade numbers as the convincingly authentic mojo-wielding "Muddy Waters Rose Out of the Mississippi Mud," the surging "Right There, Right Then" and the rustic waltztime "(Don't Have a) Change of Heart" are small strokes of heartfelt majesty.〔 Editors (2006) (“Mink Deville/Willy Deville.” ) (Trouser Press. )〕 Richard Marcus said of the album, “''Crow Jane Alley'' is the work of an artist who after thirty plus years in the business still has the ability to surprise and delight his listeners. Listening to this disc only confirms that Willy DeVille is one of the greats who have been ignored for too long.〔Marcus, Richard (June 24, 2006) (“CD Review: Crow Jane Alley Willy DeVille.” ) (Leap in the Dark (Blog) ) (Retrieved 3-25-08.)."〕 Allmusic said, "''Crow Jane Alley'' is a very respectable collection from this journeyman, starting off with the single 'Chieva' and continuing with DeVille's novel exploration of sound and clever merging of styles."〔Viglione, Joe (2007) (“Review: Crow Jane Alley.” ) (Allmusic ). (Retrieved 3-25-08.)〕 Uncut said, "DeVille continues to excel at conjuring new tricks from old genres — Drifters-scented barrio pop, booming melodrama and accordion-laced trysts are rendered with verve and sensitivity. An ill-conceived Tom Waits/Captain Beefheart-style Muddy Waters tribute and the dreary "Slave To Love" apart, a welcome slice of swamp-pop heaven."〔Editors, ("Willy DeVille: Crow Jane Alley." ) Uncut.
