They have a few dates left supporting Head Automatica before they headout with The Sounds.

Van Morrison Pays the Devil

Press Release reports: Van Morrison's 'Pay The Devil' will be in stores March 7th. 

There's a reason they call Van Morrison the Belfast Cowboy. Now with Morrison's latest album Pay The Devil, that good reason has resulted in a great new album. From the start, the deeply soulful sounds of the American South helped inspire Morrison to one of the most enduring and consistently impressive careers in music history. For forty-years, he's drawn upon the greats of Rhythm & Blues to create his own distinctive and influential blend of soul and Celtic influences. On Pay The Devil, Morrison explores his inner cowboy more than ever before - recording a compelling mix of his favorite country compositions as well as a few equally strong originals that more than earn their place among such distinguished company. Morrison has taken some enduring, endlessly relevant songs of the south and somehow made them all his own. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
