Read "The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever!" reviewed by John Kelman

Van Morrison: Keep Me Singing

Read "Keep Me Singing" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Van Morrison remains a beautifully mercurial creative force. Thirty-six discreet recordings into a 52-year career, Morrison has only Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, as poly-genre conquering peers, each of whose reach has proven to be expansive and penetrating. This is a rarified trio, to be sure, a very selective club that needs be no larger. Morrison's ...
