Legendary Soul Singer Van Morrison Returns

Multi-award-winning legendary soul singer and songwriter Van Morrison has returned with a live recording slated for release in early 2009. The album marks the first record to be issued on Morrison’s own label, Listen To The Lion Records, which will be distributed worldwide.

The album captures the widely-acclaimed live performance Morrison gave at the venerable Hollywood Bowl in November, which featured a breathtaking recreation of the “Astral Weeks” album.

In his remarkable career, Morrison has become one of the most influential artists in the modern age. His album “Astral Weeks,” originally released 40 years ago, was heralded as a groundbreaking work and today is universally regarded as one of the most important albums in popular music history.

Timeless music from the soul, “Astral Weeks” is ranked one of the greatest albums of all time by Mojo, Rolling Stone and Britain’s The Times.

“This particular show at the Bowl was electrifying,” said Ian Ralfini, Senior Vice President, EMI Music. “For some of us it was a little bit of nostalgia and for others it was a brand new experience. But for everyone it was a great concert and a piece of musical history.
