Our Review

Shorter on transcendence than his two previous releases – Astral Weeks, MoondanceHis Band the Street Choir features 12 succinct folk and R&B flavored jabs, best exemplified by the album’s hit single “Domino.” Alongside Jack Schroer’s saxophones and Keith Johnson’s trumpet, Morrison pitts himself as a streetwise world-weary hustler trying to get back to the land. The album has the feel of hippie hangover marked in its early ‘70s grooves; the artistic schizophrenia is everywhere. Morrison vacillates between his contemporary young, hippie inclinations (“Virgo Clowns,” “If I Ever Needed Someone,” “Street Choir”) and the tough blues tradition of his adolescence (“I’ve Been Workin’,” “Blue Money,” “Call Me Up in Dreamland”), making for an album of brilliant moments but little actual flow. Tellingly, the album’s greatest success is its final track, “Street Choir,” where with his well-seasoned sidemen and accomplished backing vocalists, the Irish singer attempts to understand his confused relationship with America, the land that brought him the music that inspired him and which he now struggled to call home.

Crazy Face (4 stars)
His 3rd. album is a slight step down from the album Moondance and Astral Weeks But still worhty of a purchase. Contains great classics.

It STILL gives me chills! (5 stars)
I bought this album on vinyl the day it was unpacked in the record store 36 years ago, and "I'll Be Your Lover, Too" still gives me chills down to my soul. I've known love like that, too. Yes, of course, I love the songs that got played on the radio, but as radio is wont to do, those songs got bludgeoned to death. There are a few albums that clearly deserve the designations "classic" or "ageless." This is one

Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock & roll canon. Subject only to the whims of his own muse, his recordings cover extraordinary stylistic ground yet retain a consistency and purity virtually unmatched among his contemporaries, connected...
