(US, October 1971)
Another early seventies marvel from Van Morrison. Here you can hear him singing praise to love, marriage and the happy country life with his lovely wife Janet Planet (yes, these were the early seventies), after having fled the turmoil and jet-set lifestyle which brought "Moondance"'s overwhelming succes. The happiness wouldn't last very long of course. Janet fled back to the jet set and Van had to redescent from Lalaland to continue his tortuous career of touring and making records. This record is pure Americana. The music of The Band springs to mind. The funky "Wild Night" and sweet "Tupelo Honey" are true classics and "Moonshine Whiskey" is one of my personal favourites. Without the existance of "Moondance" and "St Dominic's Preview", this would have been Van's masterpiece of that period. (in AllMusic)
