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.

Having recently released its lead single ‘Streamline Train’, Van Morrison now presents another preview of the 23-track album as he unveils the follow-up, ‘Worried Man Blues’. As with many influential folk and skiffle songs, ‘Worried Man Blues’ has emerged in many different forms over the years.

When describing vocalist and arranger Paul Jost, two words come to mind … “passionate” and “storyteller”.

With his reputation as a vocalist growing, Paul has been filling rooms on the New York club scene as well as captivating audiences on festival stages both in the US and Europe.
