Who? If you don’t know who Van Morrison is then you need help.
Sounds like? A step back into the past with Morrison.

Now hear this:
“Down The Road” – Proves we can get better with age.
“Hey Mr. DJ” – A dark shade of loneliness.
“Talk Is Cheap” – Bring us those old delta blues forever.
“What Makes The Irish Heart Beat” – The point is clear even if some of the lyrics miss.
“Whatever Happened To PJ Proby?” – A slinky number that will find you strutting step by delightful step.
“Georgia On My Mind” – If you need a reason to buy this record here it is
“Fast Train” – A great way to wrap a great record.

Hear it once, maybe twice:
“Meet Me In The Indian Summer” and “Steal My Heart Away” – okay.
“The Beauty Of The Days Gone By” – Good.

Van Morrison has given us decades of great music and it doesn’t appear he is going to stop any time soon providing us with earmarked moments in time.
