Title: Beautiful, stunning, soulful
Review: This album doesn't have the immediate payoff of a single... a real rarity for Van. If you like his poppy, fun songs, I'd recommend one of his greatest hits collections.This album is thoughtful and mellow... very powerfully evocative. His voice is so resonant and supple. There's just something important he wants to tell you... you can tell by hearing him. It has the power and emotion of gospel music or soul music... but mellow and golden like a good Irish whiskey.The backing is a laid-back, folky jazz that has a remarkable timeless sound. Listen to the sample of 'Sweet Thing'. That's a very indicative song... also the most accessible.
