Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced what is regarded as perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock & roll canon. Having penned iconic songs such as "Gloria," "Brown-Eyed Girl," and "Moondance," Morrison has, from the very beginning -- as frontman for Irish blues rockers Them during the early 1960s to a solo career that has lasted more than 50 years -- been subject only to the whims of his own muse. His solo recordings, beginning with the mystical, jazzy folk of Astral Weeks in 1968, cover extraordinary stylistic ground, yet retain a consistency of vision and purity of execution unmatched among his contemporaries. His swinging meld of jazz, pop, folk, blues, and Celtic soul fueled the albums of his Warner Bros. period from the late '60s (Moondance) to the early '80s (Common One). From the late '80s to the end of the century with Mercury, he connected the spiritual power of his musical vision to a re-engagement with his Belfast roots on Irish Heartbeat (accompanied by the Chieftains) and to the blues wails and gospel whispers of his youth on Too Long in Exile, Healing Game, and Back on Top. During the 21st century, his recordings underscored his indelible singing style that bypasses the confines of language to articulate emotional truths far beyond the scope of literal meaning, whether recording pop (Magic Time), country (Pay the Devil), Celtic R&B (Keep Me Singing), folk (Moving on Skiffle), or fingerpopping jazz (You're Driving Me Crazy and The Prophet Speaks, both with organist Joey DeFrancesco). Morrison also cultivated a reputation as an outspoken contrarian in his later years, a side that was showcased on such modern-day protest albums as 2021's Latest Record Project, Vol. 1 and the following year's What's It Gonna Take? Yet, he still found time to celebrate his roots, interpreting rock & roll and R&B classics on 2023's Accentuate the Positive and revisiting his own songs alongside those of singers like Willie Nelson and Joss Stone, as on 2024's New Arrangements and Duets, further underscoring his reputation as both a beloved pillar and an unpredictable rock maverick. In June 2025, accompanied by his quartet and guests, Morrison released Remembering Now.
