Title: Van the Man
Review: With Van Morrison you never knew what you'd get. He became pretty hit or miss as he progressed later in his career. And...I saw him once in concert and his complete lack of interest in what he was doing really disappointed me. But, I gather that he is a guy who likes things on his own terms; take him or leave him. He writes and records what he wants and not what others expect of him. Some times that approach works out well and other times not. The early 70's was kind to him and some of his best work comes from this period; most notably "Moondance". The title track could be considered his most recognizable song but 'Caravan', 'Crazy Love' and 'Into the Mystic' all rate as highly. A very consistent excellent record and one that never wears out it's welcome.
