Product Description

Carefully curated by the artist himself, this is the follow-up collection of lyrics from one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters of the last century. Readers will find examples of all the features of the world that
Van Morrison has created through his work: the back streets and mystic avenues; memories of childhood wonder and of adult work; the chime of church bells and the playing of the radio; the generous naming of other artists and the joy of solitude; love and sharp dealing; consolation and grace.

Review

“[
Keep ‘Er Lit] features over 120 songs from Van The Man’s storied career, from the seminal
Astral Weeks, through recent albums such as
Roll With The Punches and
The Prophet Speaks. To see these songs presented as prose and poetry once serves to prove yet again that Van Morrison is one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. With an introduction by Hughes and a forward from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, this is an absolute must have for an Van Morrison fan. ―

About the Author

One of the greatest singers of all time,
Van Morrison has been following his muse in an uncompromising way since the early Sixties. His career has been a model of artistic consistency and workmanlike devotion. He has explored soul, jazz, blues, rhythm & blues, rock and roll, Celtic folk, pop balladry, and more, forging a distinctive amalgam that has Morrison’s unvarnished passion at its core. He has referred to his music as “Caledonia soul,” reflecting his deep immersion in American roots music and Irish mysticism
