Legend Van Morrison has just released his 36th studio album, Keep Me Singing. Solid songwriting, strings rising up and around Morrisonā€™s still-expressive voice, organ, harmonies, and a lush production of easy-to-listen-to tunes inform this album. The first tune, ā€œLet It Rhyme,ā€ has a soft rimshot moving us along as double harmonies come up. ā€œMemory Laneā€ is a sweet acoustic guitar-and-strings ballad mix, seeing Van the Man wondering about all that has gone before. He covers ā€œShare Your Love With Meā€ with a nice swing. ā€œIn Tiburnā€ is a jazz nod to all that happened in San Francisco years ago, Mr. M. name dropping along the way. ā€œToo Lateā€ is the most upbeat mover here and ending the albumĀ with an organ, snare brush mover instrumental is ā€œCaledonia Swing.ā€ Van Morrisonā€™s Keep Me Singing is another example of classic songwriting of a certain type, perfect singing (Morrisonā€™s voice sounds just about as good as it always did), and fine production. Masterful stuff from a master.
