Notable People: Van The Man with Jeff Beck and Georgie Fame
Title: Roll With the Punches
Review: Van the Man is back….again and endlessly. Nothing really new here- just his consistently fine R&B and Jazzy takes on his own and classic material. If you are a fan of the Van, you will want to hear this. Van remains one of the great singers of the modern era and having Jeff Beck on guitar and Georgie Fame on the keys is a big added bonus. If you are more pop music driven, go out get a copy of Moondance or Astral Weeks and hear the Man in his other earlier manifestations. A good winter listen.
