There has been no one quite like Willy DeVille: “an old soul”, an incurable romantic who lived intensely and chaotically like a bohemian pirate—feisty, charming, jinxed, and poetic—eternally grappling with addiction. From the punk scene at CBGB’s in New York to a ranch in Mississippi, via Paris and New Orleans, countless accounts guide us through the adventures and trials of a cult artist (even Bob Dylan adores him) who effortlessly shifted from R&B to blues, soul, French chanson, Cajun music, and Latin pop while always sounding uniquely like his truly.

Starring: Ben E. King, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Peter Wolf, Jack Nitzsche, Hal Willner, Chris Frantz
