Negative Positive
Title: Down to earth
Review: Van Morrison's Moondance. A mecca of 12-bar blues, rootsy Memphis soul, 50's Sinatra swing,and Nashville country-rock. This album rates on almost anyone's list of Top 30 rock & roll albums since Elvis Presley sang about another moon in Kentucky, and Chuck Berry revved up his '54 Epiphone. Morrison, and his imitation of the rough-edged blues of Son House, Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Ray Charles, is sprinkled throughout. It's as if the man isn't making any qualms about his music, but directly pushing his lungs and feelings through a microphone. This is probably the greatest white blues album ever created. [All apologies to Paul Butterfield]. You couldn't go wrong purchasing two, because in all likelihood, you'll wear the first one out after a year of repeated listening. Yes, it's really that good.
