Anyone pickup his latest album.
I was not very fond of the previous one (with the photo of him,
his daughter and two dogs on the cover), but really liked some
of his work just previous -- especially Hymns to Silence and Enlightenment.

    It's far better than the last album -- stylistically more varied
    and lyrically a bit more ambitious -- but not quite the equal
    of Enlightenment. I guess it would match up well with
    Hymns to the Silence. No more duets with his daughter, thank
    god. 
    
    For me, one of the major problems with the last album was the
    echo-effect backing vocal supplied by Brian Kennedy. He's still
    in the mix on "The Healing Game" but in a slightly reduced
    role.  

    Speaking of Brian Kennedy, Mrs Me has been (not so) actively seeking
    anything he's done in a solo setting (since she fell in love with him
    and his purple jump suit during Morrison's show at Harbor lights a couple 
    years back).
    
    The answer is.....?

    There was talk of a recently-released solo album by Mr. Kennedy
    ("A New Man," perhaps) on the VM listserv. Not sure if it was
    released here in the US. 

I agree that The Healing Game is far better than the last album &
maybe the last two (the Hooker duos just didn't quite make it for me).
