Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular 

music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, 

blues, and Celtic folk produced perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock & roll canon. 

Subject only to the whims of his own muse, his recordings cover extraordinary stylistic ground yet retain 

a consistency and purity virtually unmatched among his contemporaries, connected by the mythic power 

of his singular musical vision and his incendiary vocal delivery: spiraling repetitions of wails and whispers 

that bypass the confines of language to articulate emotional truths far beyond the scope of literal meaning

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

The final album of Van Morrison's remarkably prolific and innovative 1968-1974 period (followed by three years of silence), 

Veedon Fleece brings the singer full circle, returning him to the introspection and poignancy of Astral Weeks. 

Composed following his sudden divorce from wife Janet Planet and subsequent retreat from the U.S., 

the songs are subtle and Spartan, the performances deeply felt; though less tortured and cathartic 

than Astral Weeks, it's a record fraught with emotional upheaval, as evidenced by such superior moments 

as "Linden Arden Stole the Highlights," "Who Was That Masked Man," 

and "You Don't Pull No Punches, But You Don't Push the River." 

That said, this is one of those -- and there are several -- forgotten classics in the Morrison catalog...(AllMusic)
