Van Morrison Band • Page 2

I've always been interested in his time in Boston. Does it get into that? Or just the recording stuff in NY?

 

Yup! Thats like the whole book!

 

ahahahahahahaha this art

 

wow he's putting out a collab album with jeff dunham that's crazy

 

Dude's more productive than Future and Ryan Adams right now. Jeeze.

 

Hey Astral Weeks is 50 today, everybody!

Van Morrison’s ‘Astral Weeks’ Is 50, but It Never Ages
Van Morrison: The Pettiest Musical Genius of His Time

 

expanded/deluxe edition reissue of 1997's The Healing Game out today

Never listened to this record before today but like most Van albums it's very good imo

 

prob my favorite of his ‘90s records with back on top

 

Enlightenment owns too

 

oh lol yeah i always forget enlightenment and hymns to the silence are the '90s, those are my other two faves

 

i wrote about them a few years ago https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/astral-years-a-seekers-guide-to-van-morrison-in-the-80-1700003646

 

this is really excellent and is a great resource I often go back to as I continue my journey through the massive van discog

 

Hymns is so dense I haven't quite gotten a handle on it yet

love what I've heard from it tho

 

I haven't heard anything between 1974 and 2018. Which is awful, I know

 

Common One is an all-time record for me on the level of Veedon Fleece / Astral Weeks

I'd say start with Into the Music though

 

hell yeah

Van Morrison Announces New Album 'Three Chords & The Truth,' Shares Single "Dark Night Of The Soul": Listen

 

at last!

 

The Goldfinch had a really great needledrop of Them's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". Van's vocal on that is so absurdly good.

 

Weird, Tupelo Honey isn't on Apple Music

 

Also, I don't know how I didn't realize that the man released Moondance AND His Band.. in the same year!!!

 

The lack of availability of his catalog is criminal.

Every store that sells CDs that I stumble into, I immediately check for St. Dominic's Preview, Veedon Fleece and Hard Nose the Highway.

 

Tupelo Honey isn't on Spotify either, it's absolute ass

 

I'm up to Into the Music in my listen-through. Not a bad tape yet! I don't remember if I've heard the next few or not. No Guru rules. After that I don't think I've heard any outside of most of Avalon Sunset.

 

Happy 75th Van, stop being a dumb piece of shit please!

 

Lol
