Moving On Skiffle

On his new album, Moving On Skiffle, Van Morrison draws inspiration from the Skiffle music genre that gained prominence in the 1950s. Skiffle music is characterized by its blend of American folk, blues, country, and jazz, known for its raw and authentic sound. During his school days, Morrison himself was part of a skiffle band, and this genre has remained a constant influence throughout his extensive and varied musical career. While he has ventured into diverse musical territories over the years, Morrison always finds his way back to his musical roots. Moving On Skiffle serves as a heartfelt tribute to Skiffle music, featuring interpretations of 23 classic Skiffle songs. Morrison's soulful vocals breathe new life into these tracks, infusing them with fresh energy and leaving his own distinctive mark on each rendition.
