    "Devil" has nowhere near the wit and magic of "Magic Time" (his previous CD). I've adored Van for decades, and I'm happy that unlike some artists of his era, he has a voice that's as good as ever. But it's wasted on most of these ho-hum country tunes.

    Pay The Devil is at the crossroads of country, blues and soul. In his voice is the authority to bring them together.
