Van Morrison has announced that his new album, New Arrangements And Duets, will be released on September 27.

Morrison also shared the album’s lead single, “Choppin Wood,” which pays tribute to his late father George Morrison and his admiration for jazz greats. “Choppin Wood” is originally a song featured on Morrison’s 2002 album Down The Road.

New Arrangements And Duets consists of unreleased material, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s duets with Willie Nelson, Joss Stone, Curtis Stigers and Kurt Elling, which were recorded a few years ago.

Announcing the the news on Instagram, Morrison wrote, “This album represents a small percentage of the huge amount of unreleased material we are hoping to roll out in the near future, rather than letting it gather dust in some archive.”
