RennyK.Apr 5, 2008My wife who doesn't even know who Van Morrsion is love'd it. I enjoyed it more after each listening. Track 9 will end up on my MP3. If you're a Van Morrsion fan I don't feel you will be dissappointed and I think it has appeal for any blues lover.

There are no surprises, but when you do something this well, there doesn't need to be.

Morrison's first collection of originals in longer than most of us can remember relies on a characteristic combo of jazz phrasing and bluesy riffs that should please die-hards and maybe bring in a few latter-day converts.

The album is front-loaded with these relatively energetic tracks. Much of the rest ('End of the Land,' 'Song of Home') is resigned, reflective and spiritually attuned, but not always keenly focused.
