An album of Van Halen songs -- reconfigured in a bluegrass arrangement and approved by David Lee Roth -- was released Tuesday
(June 6) on CMH Records. Strummin' With the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen features first-rate acoustic musicians
John Jorgensen, Blue Highway, Larry Cordle, John Cowan, David Grisman, Mountain Heart and the Nashville Bluegrass Band, among
others. Roth sings on only three of the tracks -- "Jump" and two versions of "Jamie's Cryin'."
