Steve Winwood, Joss Stone, Mavis Staples, Taj Mahal, Mark Knopfler and Natalie Cole are among the musicians who re-work some of the lesser-known gems in Van Morrison’s catalogue with Van himself for the new release. The album was recorded in Belfast and London over the past year and was produced by Van along with Don Was and Bob Rock. Duets: Re-Working The Catalogue is Morrison’s first new album since 2012’s Born To Sing: No Plan B.

Check out the album’s first single, “Real Real Gone,” featuring Michael Buble at Huffington Post. A new song from the album will be shared each week until its release.
