The Prophet Speaks - 2LP

Release: 7. december 2018

“It was important for me to get back to recording new music as well as doing some of the blues material that has inspired me from the beginning. Writing songs and making music is what I do, and working with great musicians makes it all the more enjoyable.”
Van Morrison says of The Prophet Speaks, which contains six new songs as well as covers af Sam Cooke, Solomon Burke and more.
