New Van Morrison: Pay The Devil
Van Morrison's ten thousandth album, Pay The Devil, was released today, and while it is definitely the country album he promised, it's still Van Morrison doin' what he does best: singing big warm songs that make your heart grow two sizes (or was that the Grinch? either way....) and make the world turn a little slower.

One song that I very very much enjoy, though, is actually a cover of an old Chuck Willis number:
"What Am I Living For" - Van Morrison
Morrison makes this track less country-western (but still a languid treat), and has a good dollop of soul in it with a hearty piano base. It's a front porch, barefoot, August sunset tune. I feel like I should pour some Southern Comfort and slow dance around the dusty floorboards. Snag this one.
