I will actually see the process in action tonight, as I will be going to see Van Morrison in concert (for the first time). He seems to want to age by exploring every type of music that ever appealed to him before he goes, which can be as good a thing as you either choose to, or are actually able to, make of it. His current album is country oriented, singing "There Stands The Glass" and such. We'll see how or if he ties up all the other threads (R&B, Celtic, Jazz, Skiffle et. al.) with it all. At least he's not trying to go out as an oldies act, but then his muse, unique brand of spirituality, temprement and ego have always taken him in odd directions.

And he IS the only artist I know of to have personally produced the multi-artist tribute album devoted to his own songs...

But I have folloewd his recording career through thick and thin, for the rewards the thick provide.


Should prove interesting.

Details at some later point.....
