Often the simplest explanation for a phenomena is the truest one. In the recording, Van Morrison does what he has always done best-stright up blue eyed soul. Included are the relevant lyrics and tight backing from musicians and vocalists. Included in this back to basics theme is a message of sobriety and living in the day. Not his all-time best but still better than most.

What can you say about Van Morrison? I have been a true fan since the beginning. Every album has been stellar. On this particular CD, his voice has truly matured and seems to only get better. Unlike other aging rockers who should have retired to the fireplace with a cup of tea and a cookie, Van should continue to thrill us until the day he dies. Maybe even after!!
Yes, it is his best album for awhile, but thats not saying a lot. Its OK but to give it five stars, the same as Into The Music, Moondance, Astral Weeks etc is wrong. In my opinion it ranks alongside albums such as Period Of Transition, Healing Game and Wavelength. I bought it because I have everything else and I'll play it more than some, but not as much as the real classics.
Love Van Morrison - great music!!!! Like listening in the car on long rides... CD is typical Van Morrison with heart felt music and great lyrics. Rates right up there with other classic Morrison music. I love this CD.
