Guitarist Mark KnopflerFind albums by this artist plays on a couple of tracks. The album presents ten tracks, all of which are originals by Morrison.
Musically the album offers Morrison’s usual mix of Celtic, Blues, Folk, Gospel and Jazz influences. In some respects, this album returns to the early days of his career, with the songs being mostly lyrical, but he delivers, as usual, a mixture of cross-genre songs, all blessed by his outstanding ability to weave beautiful melodies and write heartfelt lyrics, like only a few others Artists are able to do.
Overall, this is a piece of music that is worth being remembered, and although Morrison’s recorded legacy offers a few dozen releases, he never recorded a bad album and everything he ever put out is worth an honorable place in a decent record collection. It is one of those Artists you can never have too much of…
