De Noord-Ierse Van Morrison ook bekend als ‘Van The Man’ of ook wel ‘The Belfast Cowboy’ komt eindelijk weer met een nieuw album uit: 'Roll With The Punches'. Deze muziekveteraan met veel liefde voor de blues heeft vele prachtige albums uitgebracht. Deze gaat daar niet voor onder doen. ‘Roll With The Punches’ bevat zowel R&B classics (‘Goin’ To Chicago’, ‘Bring It On Home To Me’, ‘How Far From God’) als originele nummers. Ook kreeg hij hulp van bekende namen als Chris Farlowe, Georgie Fame en Jeff Beck bij de opnames.
Van Morrison vertelt over het album: "From a very early age, I connected with the blues. The thing about the blues is you don’t dissect it –you just do it. I’ve never over-analysed what I do; I just do it. Music has to be about just doing it and that’s the way the blues works –it’s an attitude. I was lucky to have met people who were the real thing –people like John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Witherspoon, Bo Diddley, Little Walter & Mose Allison. I got to hang out with them and absorb what they did. They were people with no ego whatsoever and they helped me learn a lot."
