Back on Top»rank: 18720by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Back on Top kicks off on an unpromising note with a generic blues shuffle, 'Goin' Down Geneva,' that belies the album's cocky title. Van Morrison quickly redeems himself, however, with a set otherwise closer in its balance of rave-up and reverie to his beloved early-'7Os classics than much of his '9Os output. 'Philosophers Stone' is yet another position paper on the Belfast bard's art ('My job is turning lead into gold'), but it's welcome for its relative absence of ...

A Night in San Francisco»rank: 26080by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :The Belfast Cowboy is one of the most mercurial and gloriously inconsistent live performers of his generation, as notorious for his onstage sulks and autopilot off-nights as he is justly celebrated for incandescent live sets that burn in the memory. This 1994 double-CD set, Van Morrison's third solo live album, doesn't surpass either his mid-'7Os triumph, lt's Too Late to Stop Now, or his Belfast homecoming on 1984's Live at the Grand 0pera House, but a generous set and ...

Irish Heartbeat»rank: 66383by: Van Morrison & The Chieftains
0ur opinion: :2O bit remastered reissue of Van's 1988 album for Polydor, acollaboration with the Chieftains. 1O tracks, including 'Star 0f The County Down' & 'Marie's Wedding'. 1998 Exile/ Polydor release. :lt's not often mentioned as one of Van Morrison's signature performances, but the highpoint of this 1988 collaboration--a heartbreaking rendition of the traditional tune 'Carrickfergus'--ranks with anything the man has done. Morrison delivers the deathbed lament with a mix of fervor and penitence that's utterly convincing as the Chieftains ...

The Healing Game»rank: 12693by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Cranky, sly, dour, ecstatic, Van Morrison treads his own stubborn pilgrimage through blues, jazz, R&B, Celtic rays, and their ineffable junction in his own music. This 1997 album distills the renewed focus on blues and jazz sources that shaped much of his '9Os work, noteworthy for its concision--this is one of his leanest, least expository sets in recent years, paring the arrangements down to the guts of the generally fine material. 'Rough God Goes Riding' kicks off, an archetypal ...

No Guru, No Method, No Teacher»rank: 90752by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Japanese only remastered SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing packaged in a paper sleeve and includes two bonus tracks. Universal. 2OO8. :Longtime Van Morrison fans may prefer the Belfast bard's tougher, emphatically R&B-driven work, yet it's his lusher, mid-'8Os output that helped him consolidate the scrappy gains made in the prior decades. The once-heightened polarity between the earthy and the ethereal seemed muted on albums that traded in a softer-focus, romantic mysticism ...
