Об исполнителе
Tupelo, Mississippi's Paul Thorn was a prizefighter and skydiver before becoming a rootsy singer/songwriter. As a boxer Thorn once fought against Roberto Duran, and as a musician he has toured and collaborated with Sting, Paul Carrack, Joe Diffie, Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap, and Carole King, to name a scant few.
Thorn is the son of a Pentecostal preacher; gospel music was in his blood from birth and has remained a lifelong passion. Music wasn't his first choice as a profession, however; boxing was. He fought professionally in the 1980s. After retiring, he embraced music, but continued to pay the rent with a day job -- until music entrepreneur and manager Miles Copeland heard him play a show in a Tupelo pizzeria. Copeland signed him to A&M. His debut album, Hammer and Nail, was issued in 1997. Thorn moved to Copeland's Ark 21 for 1999's Ain’t Love Strange.
A formidable guitarist, Thorn decided to showcase his chops and the rock & roll side of his roots music on the celebrated Mission Temple Fire Works Stand in 2002. His took on the weighty subject of love for 2004's Are You with Me?, using a more stripped-down style of production and R&B-based grooves to illustrate his material.
Thorn took a four-year break from recording, though he still gigged -- if not incessantly, then abundantly -- in the United States and Europe. When he did return, on 2008's A Long Way from Tupelo, he'd melded all of his previous explorations holistically into a resonant Americana with his gritty, expressive, soulful voice atop it all. In 2010 he released the humorously yet poignantly titled Pimps and Preachers on his own Perpetual Obscurity label, and followed it in 2012 with his first all-covers collection, What the Hell Is Goin' On?; the album featured Thorn's versions of tunes by Rick Danko, Allen Toussaint, Donnie Fritts, Lindsey Buckingham, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and others. Thorn returned with a strong album of originals, Too Blessed to Be Stressed, in 2014. In March of 2018, Thorn released an album, titled Don't Let the Devil Ride, featuring several covers of gospel songs that were inspiration to him during his youth and adolescence. The album features several prominent artists in that genre such as the Blind Boys of Alabama, The McCrary Sisters, Bonnie Bishop, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. (Heather Phares, AllMusic)

Об альбоме
Paul Thorn is a natural-born Southern storyteller with humble stage banter and musical delivery that’s gritty and gruff. Since his 1997 debut album, Hammer and Nail, Thorn has given fans plenty of bluesy, roots-rock music with songs like “Pimps and Preachers” and “What the Hell Is Goin’ On.” Thorn’s latest album, Don't Let The Devil Ride, out March 23, is a return to his childhood in the churches of Tupelo, Miss.
Thorn grew up singing and playing tambourine in his father's Pentecostal church. Traveling with his father to perform, Thorn especially enjoyed visiting black churches because the music of those services sounded like rhythm and blues. “That was the type that really got into my head,” Thorn says.
Thorn performed with his tambourine every night before his father preached. One night, he got a surprise. “They took up an offering for me,” Thorn says. “After I had sang my songs, I had a whole tambourine full of dollar bills, so that was my first paying gig.”
Thorn draws on these humble beginnings to create Don't Let The Devil Ride. The 14-track album pays homage to many lesser-known Southern gospel songs and features guest performers like The Blind Boys of Alabama, the horn section of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Bonnie Bishop and The McCrary Sisters. By creating a project that includes covers of The O’Jays' “Love Train” and spirituals like “Soon I Will Be Done” (popularized by Mahalia Jackson), Thorn hopes this album will have an uplifting role during turbulent times.
“You know a tree by the fruit it bears,” he says. “I want this album to have some good fruit that people can put in their hearts and apply to their lives.”
Thorn spoke with NPR’s Scott Simon about Don’t Let The Devil Ride, his early songwriting days and recording in legendary spaces. Hear their conversation at the audio link:
