Thanks for the heads up. Streaming it right now; sounds good. Warm and pleasant production. Reminds me of Mark's Shangri La album.

Too bad he’s an anti lockdown nutter.

Van is the hero, though it looks like he’s in wast minority here. I’m not a fan of lockdown either, but I’m not a fan of the number of cases going through the roof. Like somebody said, this decease is like a billionaire — you probably never saw one, but it doesn’t mean there’s no billionaires out there.

The album is amazing. Saw Van live a couple of years ago in Barcelona and his music is your ultimate soul healer.

When I saw the topic I opened it quickly thinking MK had colaborated with him again....  :smack

Didn't noticed it was on general thread.

That racist remark back in the 70s is pretty long time ago now. Has there been more?

Since he's well known to be touring and playing with black musicians from the 80's until today, I'd say no.

Maybe not racism, but maybe other "extreme views"? (I'm just curious.)

I think Clapton mentioned that on some recent interview, or maybe his autobiography, can't remember, saying something like (I can't remember exactly) he was very high on these days between alcohol and drugs and that he said and done many stupid things that he really didn't mean them at all, and that he regreted about it.

I'm curious how this comes back from time to time.

See this movie recently : "Belfast" of Kenneth Branagh. A very nice and poetry but also with a very nice soundtrack (Van Morrison music)

Nice, need to see it. Though it's Everlasting Love in the trailer, love to hear some Van Morrison in the film.

It's a very beautiful film full of nostalgia, of childhood memories, against a backdrop of religious conflict in Northern Ireland.
In the end credits, Sir Van Morrison is credited with the music for the film.

Sopranos has lots of Van tracks as well.

Oh yes! There is a cool Spotify playlist with Sopranos songs, quite an impressive collection: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2CErGAqD3keSxagGDWLuBS?si=d80de09ce1224569 (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2CErGAqD3keSxagGDWLuBS?si=d80de09ce1224569)
