Why This CD Matters
Too Long In Exile finds Van Morrison leaning into blues, pairing his own songs with standards rooted in the music’s tradition. John Lee Hooker joins him on “Gloria” and “Wasted Years,” while “Lonely Avenue” and “Good Morning Little Schoolgirl” show the album’s mix of blues covers and Morrison’s direct, soulful delivery. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="3"}
