Van Morrison

In 2016, Van Morrison took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, a venue renowned for its ambiance and history. Just two years earlier, in 2014, he released the album "Duets: Re-working the Catalogue," which featured collaborations with various artists, highlighting his ability to blend his timeless vocals with new influences. This live performance not only showcased Morrison's signature songs like "Have I Told You Lately" but also emphasized his deep connection with the audience, something that is often lost in the studio recordings. Known for his enigmatic stage presence and improvisational flair, Morrison's shows are always a treasure trove of surprises. It’s fascinating how, even after decades in the industry, he consistently evolves while staying true to his roots in folk, jazz, and blues. His work at this point reflected a seasoned artist comfortable in his skin yet still searching for new horizons.
