Van Morrison just keeps getting better with age.
His style, lyrics, and great instrumentation keep him on top of my favorites list. |

| Keep It Simple...Morrisson's best so farVan |
Van Morrison is at his best here. This is a nice bluesy cd. It's quickly becoming my favorite. |

| Great Soul / Blues cd from Van the man |
I'm bias on this review because I love Van Morrison music to death, I know this cd it's been been getting bad reviews, but I think those critics need to listen to this cd a little more more, I think is great (remember, I'm bias regarding Van's music) but if you like Blues / music with soul and a little inspiration from above, you will like this cd. |

| Back to the Mystic |
I had high hopes when Van signed with roots rock label Lost Highway. But after several lackluster records - including the dreadful "What's wrong with this picture" and the dull country record "Pay the devil" - Van has delivered the record I've been imagining. The material and his singing are strong, as are the arrangements and production, and the whole cd has a wonderful organic feel to it. There are a few vague references to "the myth" and "propaganda" (on "What's Wrong...", his paranoid musings made him sound mentally ill), but overall, these are Van's strongest batch of songs in a long while, maybe since "Into the Music." Makes a great companion piece with Dylan's "Modern Times."

| Best Van In YEARS! |
The Man is in great voice here. Terrific understated arrangements and some really good energy throughout. This is the record I have been hoping Van would make for 20 years. Great stuff. |
