LISTEN VAN MORRISON'S PAY THE DEVIL
One of the greatest singer-songwriters in American music history, Van Morrison, releases his newest album Pay the Devil next Tuesday. The primarily country disc features covers of old country classics ("Your Cheatin' Heart") as well as new tracks written by Morrison. He draws from country, R & B and Celtic influences, but the result is pure Morrison: vintage comfort, and soothing soul.
