===1990s=== The decade saw an upsurge in Van Morrison's collaborations. He developed a close association with two vocal talents at opposite ends of their careers: [[Georgie Fame]] (with whom Morrison had already worked occasionally) lent his voice and Hammond organ skills to Morrison's band; and [[Brian Kennedy (singer)|Brian Kennedy]]'s vocals complemented the grizzled voice of Morrison, both in studio and live performances. He reunited with The Chieftains on their 1995 album, ''[[The Long Black Veil (album)|The Long Black Veil]]'', with a reworking of Morrison's song "[[Have I Told You Lately]]" winning the Grammy Award for [[Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/awards/38th-annual-grammy-awards|title=38th Annual GRAMMY Awards|date=15 January 2013|publisher=National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences|access-date=23 September 2017}}</ref> He produced, and was featured on, several tracks with blues legend John Lee Hooker on Hooker's 1997 album, ''[[Don't Look Back (John Lee Hooker album)|Don't Look Back]]''. This album won a Grammy Award for [[Best Traditional Blues Album]] in 1998, and the title track "[[Don't Look Back (John Lee Hooker song)|Don't Look Back]]", a duet with Morrison, took the Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/1998/grammys.htm|website=Rockonthenet.com|title=40th annual Grammy awards β 1998|access-date=10 April 2009}}</ref> The project capped a series of Morrison and Hooker collaborations that began in 1971 when they performed a duet on the title track of Hooker's 1972 album ''[[Never Get Out of These Blues Alive]]''. On this album, Hooker also recorded a cover of Morrison's "[[T.B. Sheets]]".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LhmEjnBwsnwC&q=van+morrison&pg=PA401|title=Boogie Man: The Adventures of John Lee Hooker in the American Twentieth Century|publisher=Macmillan|last=Murray|first=Charles|access-date=8 July 2011|isbn=978-0-312-27006-3|date=18 March 2002}}</ref> Morrison collaborated with [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]] on his 1999 album ''[[Reload (Tom Jones album)|Reload]]'', when the pair sang on Morrison's song, "[[Sometimes We Cry]]".
