Original VAN HALEN frontman David Lee Roth is featured on three tracks on "Strummin' with the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen", a collection of VAN HALEN songs done in bluegrass style that will be released on June 6. Roth joins the JOHN JORGENSON BLUEGRASS BAND for twangy renditions of "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin'", as well as a special radio edit of the latter.

The album also features DAVID GRISMAN AND SONS, BLUE HIGHWAY, MOUNTAIN HEART, IRON HORSE, and others offering new interpretations of such VAN HALEN favorites as "Runnin' With The Devil", "Hot For Teacher", "Panama", "Eruption", "Ice Cream Man", "Dance The Night Away", and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".

You can now listen to the CD "Strummin' with the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen" in streaming media on CMT.com's "Hear Music Now" web site.

In the liner notes, the Indiana-born Roth explains that "my roots were always kind of country — not the same country as my first band. Their flag had windmills. Mine had BBQ pit and a shot glass."

:( omg if that was true nothing would ever ever be the same... ahh

I used to have a big crush on Eddie Van Halen, but chances are he isn't as 'cute' looking anymore.. sadders.

i'm not looking forward to anything from then.. seeings how they'll more then likely suck, come back and go unreconized and then forgot about, then they'll go away again.

Who likes Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the greatest guitarist in the world, but what do others think about the band... hmmm i wonder.... tell me please, at least rate them 1-10 rating or 10* or whatever

As a band: 7/10
As a guitarist: 10/10

Yeah i say 5/10
and guitarist 9/10

They had some vary good songs like jump and eruption and they did wild thing pretty good too.

I can play the tapping part of Eruption

as a band 8/10 (i have a soft spot for them)
as a guitarist 9/10 for Eddie's time. But now everyone does all his tricks and some are even better.
