DeVille was promoting Coup De Grace, which, although released under the name of Mink DeVille, was really Willie DeVille's coming out as a solo artist. The new musical direction is reflected in this show, which differs considerably from the 1977 Bottom Line shows, also taped for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. By 1981, when this show was recorded, DeVille had deeply embraced Latin rhythms, which can be heard on a number of songs. Among the highlights are "Harlem Nocturne," "Slow Drain," "Cadillac Walk," "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl," "Spanish Stroll," "Love Me Like You Did Before" and "Teardrops Must Fall," from Coup De Grace.
