It should come as no surprise that Van Morrison has made an album inspired by skiffle. Van Morrison's love of skiffle dates back to his childhood. He would hang out at the famed Belfast record store Atlantic Records, where he'd hear early 20th century folk, blues and jazz from the likes of Lead Belly and Jelly Roll Morton.
'Moving On Skiffle' finds him taking a homemade style that exploded across Britain in the mid-1950s and infusing it with a level of sophistication and soulfulness that it didn't always possess the first time around. The 23-track album goes to the heart of the music Van Morrison has inhabited ever since he was six years old, hanging out in the smoky confines of Belfast's Atlantic Records.
It also contains songs that underline, in their messages on the importance of freedom and living on your own terms, his lifetime philosophy.
Live performance by the American blues/soul musician recorded at
The 100 Club in London in 1998. Songs featured in the concert
include 'Man Is Under Pressure', 'Going Back to the Juke Joint' and
'Every Man Needs a Good Woman'.

the Berlin Philharmonie in May 2016. The show features tracks from
throughout Porter's career to date including 'Holding On', 'Be Good

Recorded live in concert, the legendary Willie Dixon shows why he
has been such a huge influence on generations of musicians. Mick
Jagger, Robert Plant, Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton are just a few
of the names who owe a sizeable amount of gratitude to Dixon's
blues-based hollerin'. Songs include "Wang Dang Doodle," "I Got The
blues," "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and more!
Brian Setzer is one of the leaders of the big-band swing revival,
and this program presents a terrific one hour and 40-minute
Christmas concert in its entirety, featuring fun hits like "This
Cat's on a Hot Tin Roof," "Jump Jive an' Wail," and "Run Rudolph
Run."
