Moondance by Van Morrison

Pros: Some fine songwriting/singing. "Into The Mystic" is a love song for all time.
Cons: A couple songs pale by comparison, but that's minor detail.

Blame it on "American Wedding". Sure, Van Morrison is one of the great songwriters that ever lived, and he's a damn good singer to boot. But the thing that led me to buy what's probably his most well-known album was a scene in a C-grade teen comedy ...

Pros: Great music, great lyrics, unique voice, good songs that are unquestionably timeless.
Cons: None

A legendary singer with one of the most unique sounds around, Van Morrison has influenced many with his hybrid of soul, folk, classical and jazz. Born in Belfast, England he got his first guitar at the tender age of twelve and soon was forming bands and ...

Pros: Morrison is a great vocalist and songwriter, songs have soul
Cons: Could have had a couple of more tunes on the album

"Irish Soul"--that is a great description of Moondance, released in 1970 by Van Morrison, as a follow up to his smash album, Astral Weeks. Moondance takes a much different direction than the music that Morrison...

Pros: One of the most consistently beautiful, perfect albums ever recorded.
Cons: I wish all of Morrison's albums were this strong.

Van Morrison has been a darling of the critics, and an influential force at the outskirts of popular music for well over thirty years. Morrison is interesting in the respect that you can not pigeon-hole his music. It’s not quite rock, but it’s not pop...

Pros: Van's best, just.. beautiful
Cons: Standard gripe: This was recorded on vinyl originally, and at 10 songs it's just too short

In the early 60s, a bunch of Irish kids got together and formed a new band, which they named "Them". Them had a few hits in the mid-60s, including Here Comes The Night, and Gloria, but didn't last terribly long, because in 1967 their lead...

Pros: a great introduction to a musical poet; most of tape speaks to love
Cons: pretty typical of 70s folk/rock -- if this doesn't appeal to you : skip it

Why did you buy this album?

I heard the song Into the Mystic in the movie "Immediate Family" with Glenn Close and Mary Stuart Masterson. I love the movie ... and I fell in love with the song. I went right out to get...

Pros: An album of magical tunes
Cons: Only 39 minutes of music

This digitally remastered album is a delight to the ears. Moondance is a true classic album, with soulful and rockin’ R&B tunes that are timeless.

This album was released in 1970, and it is hard to imagine that it is as old as The...

Pros: Eclectic mix of instruments, Van Morrison's lyrics and vocals are spectacular, A true classic album
Cons: Only ten songs... I want more!

In 1970, Van Morrison released "Moondance". This is perhaps one of my favorite albums because Morrison manages to mix jazz, acoustic blues, and his soulful voice with some spectacular lyrics. Although I don't mind his earlier work that...

Pros: Van Morrison at his best
Cons: none

Van Morrison is often called the rock singer's rock singer. This CD is Van Morrison at the height of his vocal skills. He's a gifted writer, too, able to verbalize his nostalgic, sometimes mysterious and always romantic notions.

Van Morrison...

Pros: All your emotions rolled into one CD
Cons: nada dang one

Have you ever wanted to have a musical collection that makes you want to sit back and chill or jump up and dance or make love all in one album? Well this is the music for you then. I have always been a Van Morrison fan. I practically cut my teeth...

Pros: HEARTWARMING AND SOUL MOVING
Cons: CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. It's such a moving Vocal, as well as instrumental work of art!!! I can close my eyes while listening to any of these songs, and find myself feeling exactly what Van Morrison is singing about.
