    Hey, brown eyed girls and rock fans. We've got good news! And it involves the fact that sometimes Plan B is not an option.

    The rock legend known as Van Morrison returns to Blue Note Records for a new studio album Born to Sing: No Plan B, which will be released on Oct. 2. Morrison previously released the Grammy-nominated What's Wrong With This Picture? on Blue Note in 2003.

    In a statement, Morrison said, "With most record companies being so corporate I am happy to be working with Don Was and the team at Blue Note. To have such a creative music person as the head of my recording label assures me that all the effort taken to write and record this new album will be rewarded with a music-based focus and marketing approach. I look forward to many recording projects with Don and Blue Note."

    Don Was added, "Over a career that spans decades, Van Morrison has developed a body of work that is unparalleled in its consistent excellence. He is one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians of all time. We are incredibly honored that he has chosen to record for the Blue Note label and look forward to many fruitful years together."

    Born to Sing: No Plan B was produced by Van and recorded in his native Belfast.
