På sit 35. studioalbum – Duets: Re-working the Catalogue – gør Van Morrison, hvad man andre kunstnere har prøvet: synger en række duetter. Er det udtryk for lavvande i den kunstneriske kreativitet? Dovenskab? Eller måske det omvendte? I hvert fald vender Morrison tilbage til 16 af sine gamle sange for at give dem en ny fortolkning. Ellers er det nok – som det altid har været for Van the Man: Business as usual.
