Van Morrison — Veedon Fleece: Reviews
Van Morrisons Celtic Best
I first heard this album 20 years ago and it remains one of my all time top 10 (I think on a par with 'Astral Weeks' and 'Moondance'). The songs were written by Van on his first trip back to Ireland in 1973 since leaving there in 1966, and reflect his re-connection with his Celtic heritage. The tracks, (expect for "Bulbs") - which is a fabulous upbeat country rock number - are quite understated and all the better for it. There is plenty of 'Irishness' in the instrumentation without it being an 'Irish' album..and the melodies exquisitely haunting, but its the words that really stick...each song telling a wonderful story. My favourites are "Linden Arden", "Streets of Arklow", "Bulbs", "Comfort You" and "Country Fair"...but everything on this album is superb. It's not a record to dance to but its certainly one to do everything else to.
Recommended.
