music. Not all of the songs work—frequently, Deville sounds too nervous and studied to really break free and have fun with the material—but it nevertheless is enjoyable, with enough strong songs (especially ‘You'll Never Know,’ a duet with Brenda Lee) to make it worthwhile for longtime DeVille followers.”
Musician
said, “Loup Garou is subtle in nuance but staggering in scope, it connects the dots between all of the artist's sacrosanct influences, often within the framework of a single song… All of it is on the money, performed from the heart….”
The Independent
said, "(Deville's) voice has, if anything, improved with the husky patina of age. Loup Garou builds on his trademark sub-Springsteen
style, adding a few Louisiana voodoo touches where appropriate, particularly on the title-track, and blending in other, more unusual textures, like the fairground sound of the optigon keyboard on "Still (I Love You Still)." He comes close to poignancy-overload on "Angels Don't Lie," where wistful uillean pipes and pennywhistle are combined with the haunting string-pad sound from "Streets of Philadelphia
," but there's enough skill and sensitivity elsewhere to render this a more than capable comeback."

-type of accent. I guess it's gotten thicker over the years, because she didn't sound like that when she was a teenager doing "Sweet Nothing."
She didn't know who the hell I was. I just called her up, played the song for her, and she loved it.

She was very shy. I thought she didn't like me at first, but once she got into the studio and saw me with all my dogs, she realized I was a very normal person. I told her I'd seen every show she ever did in New Orleans. I was the guy in front, and I had a picture of her sitting on my lap. I had my proof. That's got to go down in my book as one of the most memorable experiences in my career.
