Van Morrison:

His Band And Street Choir:(1970)

Too Late To Stop Now:(1974)

Veedon Fleece:(1974)

A Period of Transition:(1977)

Into The Music:(1979)

Poetic Champions Compose:(1987)

This man is one of the all time best singers, songwriters, and interpreters of songs. Period. I've always been enamored with how Van seems to be ad-libbing lyrics on so many of his songs. I know he's not, but he seems so in the moment, almost like he's just channeling some divine spirit. But, I suppose that's why his songs are so affecting on me. Now, that said, these albums are not equal to me. Some are so much stronger than others. So goes the artistic life. I'm sure there's an album of his that I don't care for that he would consider a great accomplishment. Right now I'm just enjoying some Van Morrison music.
