Van is great for his singer/songwriter genre. MOONDANCE was the first album for it's year debut, Van writes surroundings around inner self. Earth's energy is often picked, life conscious & sensibilities like the guitar and piano felt depths. Vocals are 5***** and acoustics are 5*****. Jazz with combo rock alternative on saxophone, collective pop and old classic contemporary with eclectic energy. Moondance a solo album also brings Northern Irish style blends developed folks to listen with intensity. Sometimes gypsies tune is catchy in some of the songs.

This is a fabulous cd and 1 of my favorites probably best known for "brown eyed girl" his voice, the brass, acoustics, jazzy blue, I appreciated all the wind instruments because it has a great beat if you just want to enjoy some great music whether its to relax, wind down, or watching the sunset, or just to reminisce then grab a copy. His passion and (this cd has the words to these songs). I started laughing because some of words composed are of lives different experiences from childhood to Adulthood and romantic encounters good and bad which most of us can relate it. I fine myself smiling and I just love listening to the way he sings and I keep smiling, laughing especially because he makes each song special and unique and I'm nodding my head and laughing because he's so captivating and I'm wriggling my feet. That’s what a great musician does.Read full review

I brought this CD because I heard one of his songs many years ago. Recently on a TV show I heard another one of his songs. This began my search for both songs. They were on separate CD's so, I bought both of them. This particular CD not only had the song that I was looking for but, a lot of other songs that were just as good. I like Van Morrison's style of singing and the music. It is soothing, but exciting at the same time. The only thing that I did not like is there weren't enough songs.
