You're Driving Me Crazy is the 39th studio album by Irish musician Van Morrison, his first in collaboration with American jazz organist & trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco. [4] His third album in just seven months, and released on 27 April 2018 by Sony Legacy, it reached the Top 20 in the UK, and features Morrison's daughter, Shana. [5]
Pitchfork found that the album "captures the joy of making music", and praises "Joey DeFrancesco’s hard-driving soul-jazz combo". [5] It notes approvingly that "the quintet knocked out the album in a couple of days, just like acts used to do in the mid-20th-century heyday of Blue Note and Prestige". DeFrancesco is "an ideal foil for Morrison. Respectful but impish", it finds. "Van Morrison continues to prove he’s among the hardest-working vocalists in jazz and its adjacent musical territories", DownBeat concludes. The albums sees Morrison "varying pace and mood to supreme effect", with "DeFrancesco creating a vortex of colliding lines" on the track “Evening Shadows”. [6]
Original artist is Van Morrison except where noted.
