You're Driving Me Crazy

About

Van Morrison reinvents jazz, blues standards and deep cuts from his catalog on the new LP, You're Driving Me Crazy, out April 27th via Sony Legacy Recording. The soul singer collaborated with Hammond organ/trumpet virtuoso Joey DeFrancesco on the album, which is his 39th studio project. You're Driving Me Crazy will be available in single-CD and two-LP format. The vocalist will issue a limited-edition seven-inch single featuring "Close Enough for Jazz" backed with a cover of Guitar Slim's "The Things I Used to Do" for Record Store Day 2018 on Saturday, April 21st. Jazz journeyman DeFrancesco – who has previously worked with Miles Davi, John McLaughlin and Grover Washington Jr. – recruited his own band for the Morrison session, with guitarist Dan Wilson, drummer Michael Ode and tenor saxophone player Troy Roberts contributing to the LP. You're Driving Me Crazy includes reworked jazz and blues classics (Peter Chatman's "Every Day I Have the Blue," Eddie Jones' "The Things I Used to Do," Cole Porter's "Miss Otis Regrets") alongside tunes from throughout Morrison's discography ("The Way Young Lovers Do from 1968's Astral Weeks through the title-track to 2005's Magic Time). .
