New Arrangements and Duets

Van Morrison, at 79, has released his new album “New Arrangements and Duets”, featuring previously recorded but unreleased music that has been hidden away in his music vault for years. Morrison announced the album on Instagram, saying, “This album represents a small percentage of the huge amount of unreleased material we are hoping to roll out in the near future, rather than letting it gather dust in some archive.”

The album includes big band tracks as a homage to Van Morrison’s father and a selection of duets with the likes of Willie Nelson, Joss Stone, Curtis Stigers, and Kurt Elling.

The attached audio file is a snippet of “What’s Wrong with this Picture” featuring a duet with Willie Nelson, accompanied by Willie’s son, Lukas, on guitar. The song was recorded in 2018 and 2019.
