Following the success of his critically acclaimed album Remembering Now,
which soared into the Top 10 and earned widespread praise, Van Morrison is
back with a bold new release
His upcoming album, Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge, marks a confident return to
the sounds and traditions that shaped much of his musical identity. The album pays
homage to the legends who defined the blues genre with fresh interpretations of
classics made famous by B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Lead Belly and more.
Set for release through Orangefield Records, Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge
delivers a spirited, unfiltered blues experience from an artist whose connection to the
genre runs deep. The album blends Morrison's trademark grit and lyricism with the
emotional weight of classic blues, resulting in a collection that feels timeless and
fiercely alive.
A standout feature of the album is its extraordinary roster of collaborators. Morrison
is joined by Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, John Allair, David Hayes, Bobby
Ruggerio, Mitch Woods, Anthony Paule and Larry Vann, whose contributions bring
depth, character and authenticity, each adding their own distinctive twist to the record.
Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge is available to pre-order and will be released on
