Paul Thorn "Love Train"

Don’t Let the Devil Ride, Paul Thorn’s collection of soulful songs originally recorded by black southern gospel groups, was co-produced by Billy Maddox and Colin Linden and recorded in 3 legendary locations: Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, and Preservation Hall in New Orleans. Don’t Let The Devil Ride features contributions from the Blind Boys of Alabama, The McCrary Sisters, the Preservation Hall Jazz Horns and Bonnie Bishop. Today, Thorn releases the album's lead single "Love Train," a gospel reimagining of The O'Jay's classic hit.
 
"The message in ["Love Train"], what it's saying is so relevant to the times we're living in 'cause there's so many things dividing everybody," Thorn told Billboard. "If everybody would listen to the words of this song and live by those words it would fix everything. It's a song about loving everybody. That's something worth singing about."
 
Don't Let The Devil Ride is now available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon with "Love Train" as an instant grat. "Love Train" is also available on Spotify and all other streaming platforms.
