Seasoned roots rock troubadour Paul Thorn has always sprinkled spirituality into his songwriting, but Don’t Let The Devil Ride (buy) marks his full-fledged venture into gospel music. Tackling covers originally recorded by black southern gospel groups (plus the seemingly random but suitably rearranged “Love Train” by The O’Jays), this collection finds the gravely-voiced veteran kicking up the blue-eyed soul across Sunday morning stormers, easygoing porch pop and several surprises courtesy of his many collaborators. The Blind Boys Of Alabama, The McCrary Sisters, the Preservation Hall Jazz Horns and Bonnie Bishop all lend their fab flavors to a record that’s heavy on musical and lyrical substance without a single shred of filler.
