Van MorrisonLatest Record Project, Volume 1

Loose blues-jazz grooves, Hammond swells, and a curmudgeon working out his grievances in real time. The title track struts in cocksure; 'Where Have All the Rebels Gone?' rasps over a barroom shuffle, and 'Why Are You on Facebook?' is pure cranky comedy riding a fat backbeat. Sprawling 28 tracks across this double set, opinionated to a fault. Messy, grooving, gloriously unfiltered.
