Genre: Classic rock
Key track: Stop Bitching, Do Something
Of all the musicians to come out of the British Invasion, few have had careers as consistently praised as Northern Irish soul singer Van Morrison.
Where so many of his peers have been running on empty or recycling past glories, Morrison has been incredibly prolific. But when you are cranking out albums as solid as 2019s Three Chords and the Truth, there is nothing wrong with releasing one record after the next. That the singer is notoriously cranky was balanced out by his considerable talents. Until now, that is.
With Latest Record Project Volume 1, Morrison has managed to come up with what could become a whole new genre: Classic Curmudgeon Rock.
