Van Morrison – Roll With The Punches (CD)
Product Details
By 2017, Van Morrison had spent more than five decades tracing his music back to the same wellspring, the American blues and R&B records he absorbed growing up in Belfast. That deep fluency is what makes this collection feel less like a covers project and more like a homecoming, with Morrison and his band inhabiting songs by Mose Allison and Sister Rosetta Tharpe with the ease of musicians who never really left that tradition behind.
Roll With The Punches – Van Morrison’s 37th studio album - sees him simultaneously hand-picking a selection of rhythm and blues classics (by the likes of Bo Diddley, Mose Allison, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Lightnin’ Hopkins among others) and recording a set of new self-written songs. It’s an album that features raw, intimate interpretations of some of the cornerstones of rock’n’roll alongside five new numbers by one of our most consistently brilliant recording artists. Roll With The Punches was produced by Van Morrison and recorded with an incredible team of studio collaborators including Chris Farlowe, Georgie Fame, Jeff Beck, Paul Jones and Jason Rebello.
