The Best of Van Morrison Vol.1 (CD)

The Best of Van Morrison Vol.1Genre: PopDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION VANM-110 CD - Polydor 1990 - 20 tracks - EAN 042284197021 AMAZON Van Morrison reputedly wasn't crazy about the idea of a greatest-hits package and this set's haphazard programming--which leaps from period to period style to style tossing in two key singles by his mid-1960s band Them--speaks of his lack of involvement. Still it rivals Moondance as Morrison's most popular album and for a reason: like that classic it offers one deeply soulful spiritually and musically thoughtful track after another. Much of his more difficult work is ignored here; in fact Best of... gives us an intriguing picture of a Van who's almost eager to please. --Rickey Wright
