SCARCE metyal masters long gone 48 years ago issue of the very first solo by Van Morrison, recorded just a year after he left THEM and scored the timeless surprise hit "Brown Eyed Girl" ....
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
After
his initial success as the leader of the Irish band Them, Van Morrison
came to the U.S to record his solo debut. He was still in transition
from the uptempo garage punk snarl sound of "THEM" to the heady,
blues-and jazz-inflected musings of his later work. The classic
"Brown-Eyed Girl" is the closest Morrison has ever come to a pop song,
and it remains a sparkling, infectious gem. The dark, fatalistic blues
workout "T.B. Sheets" is closer to the improvisatory, impressionistic
style Morrison would soon perfect on ASTRAL WEEKS. It is one of the most
chilling vocal performances he has ever put on record.
Van
Morrison's 1967 recorded debut solo album, recorded just after the implosion of
his groundbreaking blues-rock band Them, was, to say the least, unlike
anything else coughed up in the Summer of Love. Personal in the extreme,
it mixed classic romantic New York R&B and "Spanish Harlem" with a
doomy Celtic fatalism; the result was a fusion that remains unique.
Highlights include the the harrowing and haunting "T.B. Sheets," a
nine-minute 44 second death watch in which Van and his harmonica get
about as deep into the blues as is healthy for any human being.
