2012 release from the musician and entertainment personality. It's true to say that Jools Holland has become a national treasure, and The Golden Age Of Song is the perfect way to celebrate not only Jools' on-going musical odyssey but also an amazing 20 years of Later. The album features a who's who of contemporary artists, with everyone from Cee Lo Green and James Morrison to Paloma Faith and Lily Rose Cooper (nee Allen). The songs are instantly recognisable and have become staples of any discerning music lover from the last 50 years. Tracks include Nina Simone's 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' as performed by Florence Welch, as well as Lily Rose Cooper's take on The Lady Is A Tramp, and Get Here originally by Oleta Adam as sung by Jessie J. The tracks are a combination of brand new exclusive tracks recorded specifically for this album, along with a smattering of re-mixed tracks from Jools' New Year's Eve favourite, 'The Hootenanny'.

On DUETS: RE-WORKING THE CATALOGUE, Van Morrison and the guests selected and recorded some of his songs from the catalog of 360 songs across his career. Deliberately steering away from his more well-known classics, Van enlisted some of the artists he most respects to perform these songs with him to re-craft and re-imagine them. The album was recorded in his home town of Belfast and London in the United Kingdom over the last year, using a variety of musicians and fresh arrangements.

Produced by Van Morrison along with Don Was and Bob Rock, the album features duet performances with Bobby Womack, Steve Winwood, Mark Knopfler, Taj Mahal, Mavis Staples, Michael Bublé, Natalie Cole, George Benson, Gregory Porter, Clare Teal, P.J. Proby, Joss Stone, Georgie Fame, Mick Hucknall, Chris Farlowe, and Van's daughter Shana Morrison.

Van Morrison is considered one of the most prolific recording artists and extraordinary live performers of our time. He has received a multitude of awards and accolades including 6 Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, an OBE, an Ivor Novello, and has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His visionary songwriting and mastery of many genres continues to shine on albums celebrating and re-exploring his blues, jazz, skiffle and country roots. With one of the most revered catalogues in music history, his talents as a composer, singer and performer are unmatched.

(3:38) 12. Hope There's Someone

Continuing with his journey through the past, Mick Hucknall doesn't focus on a specific singer, the way he did on 2008's Tribute to Bobby, where he saluted his idol Bobby Bland. Here, on the 2012 American Soul, Hucknall pays tribute to, well, American soul, selecting 12 soul standards, most of them from the '60s. Hucknall bends the rules a bit, allowing the Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" into the mix to flirt with Jimmy Reed's "Baby What You Want Me to Do," but he generally sticks to well-loved standards such as "I'd Rather Go Blind," "Lonely Avenue," "I Only Have Eyes for You," and "Tell It Like It Is." Compared to Tribute to Bobby, this adds a bit of grit to its production in its attempt to sound like old-fashioned soul, and that's why it's a better record: it gets closer to the spirit and sound of what Hucknall loves. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine  http://www.allmusic.com/album/american-soul-mw0002417228
