Van & Solomon Burke To Collaborate Later This Year
Japan TimesBurke continues to embrace new projects and challenges. Next up is a collaboration with Celtic soul legend Van Morrison.
"Van has been one of my angels," Burke enthuses. "We've done several things with him. We're getting ready to do 'The Lord's Will,' a live album later this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that. A lot of good things we're doing. We're also doing something with Joss Stone. It's gonna be an exciting year and we're starting it off in Japan. That's what makes it more exciting."

Solomon Burke is a great singer. His version of Fast Train is a worthy tribute to Van's powerful lyrics. One of the few soul artists who can pull off country, and of course, the same can be said of Van Morrison.
I'm intrigued by the mention of Joss Stone. She's a delight, and the thought of her and Van doing something is very interesting.
Van continues to search for his latest direction post-Astral. And since Magic Time, the only truly new material (not country standards) has been Keep it Simple.
I await his next projection, as always, with eager anticipation.
