What a strange combo of artists to make that point with. Van and the Dead are nothing alike, not to me. I'm a massive Van fan, don't care for the Grateful Dead at all. But I take your point nonetheless.

To each there own I guess.
I'm inclined to agree. Save for "Moondance", there really wasn't one other song I liked by him. Guess it was the voice, or something. |

If "van-the-man" were not so damn ugly,
he could be a superstar to any public!
One word from him has 100 times the spirit and soul
than this next-to-ridiculous pony-band guy!

I know I've heard a couple of covers of it over the years too. Anyone know who it is that has done some of them?
Wikisays: "Crazy Love" has proven to be a classic cover song over the years and has been performed by many popular artists. Brian Kennedy's and Aaron Neville and Robbie Robertson's versions were featured in movies. Some of the other artists who have recorded the song are: Brian McKnight, Paul Carrack, <7> Rita Coolidge, <7> Helen Reddy, Rod Stewart, Jason Manns with Jensen Ackles, and also Cassandra Wilson on Van Morrison's 1994 tribute album, No Prima Donna: The Songs of Van Morrison. Michael Bublé covered the song on his 2009 album, Crazy Love. <8> A cappella versions include, Overboard's rendition on their 2008 album, "Castaways". |

His voice sounds very different than usual on this song. Much sweeter, more melodic and legato.
James Joyce with a voice, a true genius.

Van's the man. Only this morning I drove "over Newtownards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road" with a sense of wonder ;¬)

Most of his music is classic. His voice, and the passion with which he shapes his music, is very enjoyable. Moondance is one that I've always enjoyed, and led me to the rest of his body of work, such as this.

I forgot two of my all-time favorite Van Morrison songs -- "Into the Mystic" and "It Stoned Me"

Love "Moondance," but not the way he sings it. "Brown-Eyed Girl" sends me screaming from the room no matter who sings it. I love this song in practically any form, even Brian McKnight's oversung version.
Something about Van's voice, especially in full belt, disagrees with me. Not sure what it is, but there's a high irritant factor I pick up. That quality is not present in his performance of this song. He's nicely controlled and understated.
Thanks for asking! |
