He has been putting out one LP a year since 67 and not a bad one in the bunch (IMHO). How does he do it?

Not necessarily my favorite song from this disk, but overall this is an excellent and probably overlooked VM album.... well worth picking up if you're a fan. There's a great remake of "Gloria" with John Lee Hooker also.

I bought a CD at the show and have just about worn the thing out. |

Hi everybody. Couldn't think of a better song to post my first comment in RP!  Van Morrison is one of the few real geniuses out there still recording wonderful stuff, after all these years. Go Van!!!!! |

Van is timeless as is is Dylan.

Two sides of the same coin if you ask me.  I remember an interview in which Van was saying that listening to Dylan inspired him to continue his career, when he came to a point that he was really fed up with the whole music business. He also called Dylan the greatest, still living poet. |

A song from Van increases the worlds' serenity quotient...never a bad thing. :)
