Description
Van Morrison releases his new album Remembering Now. It represents his first collection of original music since 2022 and also follows the acclaimed covers albums Moving On Skiffle and Accentuate The Positive. With Remembering Now, Van Morrison returns to the transcendent, uncategorisable rhapsodies that make him unique. Soul, jazz, blues, folk, country – this is music in conversation with all of them but limited by none. Its rich with hallmarks of classic Van Morrison, from dominant themes of love in spirit with the great Someone Like You, the escapist romance of Once In A Lifetime Feelings, the self-deprecating candour of The Only Love I Ever Need Is Yours, to specific references to locations from his youth in the title track and Stomping Ground. The title of another song, When the Rains Came, echoes a lyric from his classic Brown Eyed Girl. From the radiant opener, Down to Joy, to the joyously resilient Havent Lost My Sense of Wonder, Van Morrisons voice, guitar and saxophone continue to mesmerise and he is surrounded, as always, by a fabulous band – Richard Dunn (Hammond organ), Stuart McIlroy (piano), Pete Hurley (bass) and Colin Griffin (drums and percussion) – who have worked with him since Three Chords and the Truth in 2019.
