It all starts with those early Them nuggets like “Gloria” and “Here Comes The Night” before moving onto to Morrsion’s first solo hit “Brown Eyed Girl.” Of course, “Astral Weeks,” the title track of his second solo album changed the game entirely, leading to a career of musical exploration that transcends those early R&B and pop flavorings to more organic strains of country music, jazz, Celtic folk and rock. The Essential Van Morrison is a double-album, 37-track career-spanning anthology that kicks things off in grand style as a thorough introduction to Van Morrison. Covering more than 50 years of music, with 50 titles from 1964 to the present, Morrison’s solo works from 1971 to the present are up for renewal as is the music the singer made with his band Them from 1964 through 1966.
With Legacy Recordings securing the rights to the meat and potatoes of Van Morrison’s catalog, the drive to get the music in shape and out to consumers is full-on. Info for The Essential Van Morrison (Remastered)
