Van Morrison, born on August 31, 1945 in Belfast, is a Grammy Award-winning Northern Irish singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist. He has been a professional musician since the late 1950s and is known for his skills on various instruments including guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums and saxophone.

Starting his career as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, Morrison gained fame with their hit song "Gloria" in 1964. Later on, he embarked on a successful solo career which earned him numerous accolades.

Morrison's contributions to music have been recognized by institutions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has also been ranked among the greatest artists of all time by VH1 and Rolling Stone Magazine. His talent as a songwriter was acknowledged by Paste Magazine while Q Magazine praised his singing abilities.

The Prophet Speaks is Van Morrison’s 40th studio album and is released on Caroline International. This fourteen track album follows a recent run of hugely acclaimed albums (Roll With The Punches, Versatile and You’re Driving Me Crazy), each of which has delved deep into the musical styles that have continued to inspire Van throughout his life – vocal jazz and R&amp;B. Here, Van takes on a series of unarguable classics by the likes of John Lee Hooker, Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke (among others) and makes them unmistakably his own. Alongside these reinterpretations, The Prophet Speaks features six phenomenal new Van Morrison compositions.
