The Prophet Speaks is Van Morrison's 40th studio album and will be released on 12/7. This 14 track album follows a recent run of hugely acclaimed albums (Roll With The Punches, Versatile and You're Driving Me Crazy), each delving into musical styles that have inspired Van throughout his life - vocal jazz and R&B. Here, Van takes on a series of classics by the likes of John Lee Hooker, Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke and makes them unmistakably his own, alongside six phenomenal new Van compositions.
