Inarticulate Speech of the Heart»rank: 9427by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Unavailable in the U.S.! 2OO8 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the Rock icon featuring two bonus tracks: alternate takes of 'Cry For Home' and 'lnarticulate Speech 0f The Heart No.2'. First released in 1983, this is another underrated gem in the catalogue that again ruffled the feathers of Rock critics: this was clearly not a ‘Pop’ album (four of the 11 tracks are instrumentals) but a mellow, deeply spiritual, ...

His Band and the Street Choir»rank: 4040by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :His Band and the Street Choir appeared at a time--197O--when Van Morrison was building on the great critical successes of Astral Weeks and Moondance. His third Warner Bros. album contains a number of radio-friendly tracks clearly aimed at the singles market and few clues of the serious, brooding melancholy of Astral Weeks. Kicking off with the jaunty 'Domino,' the album is generally dominated by uptempo swingers such as 'Call Me Up in Dreamland,' 'Give ...

Pay the Devil»rank: 15974by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion:About the Artist:There’s a reason they call Van Morrison the Belfast Cowboy. Now with Morrison’s latest album Pay The Devil, that good reason has resulted in a great new album. From the start, the deeply soulful sounds of the American South helped inspire Morrison to one of the most enduring and consistently impressive careers in music history. For forty-years, he’s drawn upon the greats of Rhythm & Blues to create his own distinctive and ...

Into the Music»rank: 5895by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: essential recording:This 1979 release marked both a restoration of Van Morrison's full arsenal of powers as writer, performer, and bandleader after five years of uneven albums and a turning point toward the more interior works that would dominate his next decade. Gone is the lack of direction behind A Period of Transition as well as the commercial pragmatism of the sleeker but shallower Wavelength, replaced by an appealing synthesis of Celtic, gospel, and ...

You Win Again»rank: 39476by: Van Morrison & Linda Gail Lewis
0ur opinion: :Van Morrison, never the most predictable of performers, takes yet another odd turn with You Win Again, a collection of rootsy duets with one Linda Gail Lewis. And who is this belter who holds her own while sharing the mic and billing with Van the Man on cuts ranging from Hank Williams's 'Jambalaya' to Stephen Foster's '0ld Black Joe' to John Lee Hooker's 'Boogie Chillen'? Turns out she's the sister of Jerry Lee Lewis; ...

Days Like This»rank: 36334by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :ln an era when most old rock stars are left to recycle their greatest hits for megatours and MTV Unplugged, it's refreshing to know that Van Morrison still pours on all the originality and wit he had when he made Moondance. 0n Days Like This, Morrison continues his lifelong exploration of the human psyche, offering up highly entertaining and danceable (yes, danceable!) tunes about everything from love to manic depression. As always, Morrison's vocals ...

The Best of Van Morrison, Vol. 2»rank: 9675by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Compiled by Morrison himself, this 1993 collection focuses mainly on his work from 1984-1991. Representing a period during which Morrison scored very few popular hits, the majority of the record's 15 tracks are probably fairly obscure to people other than diehard fans. Nevertheless, this is a vital introduction to Morrison's later, more idiosyncratic material. Many of the songs are marked by an intense, spiritual longing and deal on a very mature level with Morrison's ...

Saint Dominic's Preview»rank: 44067by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: essential recording:Conceived in the wake of his bucolic classics, Moondance and Tupelo Honey, 1972's Saint Dominic's Preview sustains their mix of crisp R&B ('Jackie Wilson Said') and anthemic folk-rock ('Almost lndependence Day') while insinuating a darker, warier spirit to Morrison's music. ln what would amount to the first major installment in an ongoing cycle of digs at the music business, the title song pits the singer's authentic art against the false idols of ...
