Profile

In 1968, Van Morrison released Astral Weeks, an album of astonishing originality and inventiveness that stretched the frontier of rock music. In his follow-up record, Moondance, he deployed a snappy little rhythm-and-blues band behind tautly structured songs. Morrison has always seemed oblivious to public taste and reaction to him and continues to explore different modes of self-expression.
