Van Morrison's 45th studio album, Accentuate the Positive, will be released on November 3rd.

This electrifying homage to rock 'n' roll is launched alongside its first single, a new take on the Johnny Kidd classic 'Shakin' All Over'.

Like this year's acclaimed Moving On Skiffle, Accentuate The Positive sees VAN MORRISON returning to one of his childhood passions: this time rock 'n' roll.
 
Contributors to the album include electric guitar from the late Jeff Beck and vocals from Chris Farlowe on 'Lonesome Train', plus guitar from Taj Mahal on 'Lucille' and 'Shake, Rattle and Roll'.
 
Van Morrison says, 'Rock 'n' roll is about simplicity, sincerity and expressive power and there's no way you can get away from that. That's why it's good and that's why it's lasted. It's spirit music.'
