    Van Morrison made tons of great music. Astral Weeks was a pretty avant-garde album for its day. This is the shortest and perhaps poppiest song. You should consider one of the long ones like Cyprus Avenue or Madame George. Caravan from the album Moondance would be a great one to do.

Recorded in 1968 when Van was only 23. There is no "genre" to put this into. It is a one of a kind album mixing, jazz, folk, country, chamber-hall, and who knows.

I mention this because of the “Jersey” part of your name, but I always thought that early Bruce (especially “The Wild, The Innocent...”) was heavily influenced by early Van Morrison. Songs like “Wild Nights, and “GLORIA” and “Here Comes the Night” give me similar vibes to Bruce’s early albums and even “Because the Night” written by Bruce. “Brown Eyed Girl” became “Jersey Girl.” Whadda u think?!

    Astral Weeks, an acoustic 'jazzy' album, came out of left field in 1968 at the height of the psychedelic era, although The Band did release the very influential 'Music from Big Pink' in 1968, which helped bring 'roots' music back into vogue. Van even moved to Woodstock for a while! He was definitely listening. The Band invited Van to perform at their farewell concert, The Last Waltz. The bands Pentangle and Fairport Convention were exploring similar styles in the UK.

(Have to admit, it would be better for you to look up lyrics prior to listening as Vans singing can be hard to follow with just your ears) Please explore this more. Title track is awesome, Cypress Avenue… the entire album is so unique and the way it was made was so organic. My favorite of his is Into the Mystic but that is a later more polished sound for Van. As for ELP, Still is still one of my all time favorites.

Love his second album in 1969, "Astral Weeks", it really sealed his sound of what was to come and that would be his third album in 1970, and my fav, "Moondance", and Imo "Into The Mystic" is his most romantic song and must be reacted too. I feel the waterworks coming Nick! 😁 I have to say EVERY song on the "Moondance" album is amazing. Just go down the list and react to them all, you will NOT be disappointed!!

    This song as your first Van Morrison is risky! Van Morrison had some contractual problems. Warner Brothers gave him some studio time. He got some jazz musicians and the rest is history. Richard Davis on the stand up bass is insane.

    My first Van Morrison song that I remember putting a name to the song was "Blue Money"... but I was a young whippersnapper then :-)
    As I've gotten older (but not necessarily grown up :-D ), I've liked others of his music much more.
    Into The Mystic
    Brown Eyed Girl
    Wild Night (although I have heard John Mellencamp's cover much more since I have that cd)
    Wavelength
    Days Like This

    This was very early Van Morrison and rather unfocused. I''ve been a big Van Morrison fan from the start and while Astral Weeks does mark his debut as a solo artist its kind of experimental in its approach and might not be the best intro to his career. Check out Moondance where he really hits his stride. He is like Steely Dan. A very rich body of work over many albums. Please react to more Van Morrison you will be richly rewarded.

  • @luizbezerra9933

    It has nothing to do with the subject, but as you guys seem to enjoy Steely Dan a lot, I thought you would like to see this video where the man who played the "Peg" guitar solo, Jay Graydon, explains how he recorded it and actually teachs how to play it. It's an iconic solo. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/Ghp88V3Qm8w/v-deo.html

    Nice! MM has an "ear" like I do when making playlists I bet! ;)
    So, the "staccato" part Nick, that you thought was a guitar is actually Keith Emerson on keyboards, including the real "accordion" that he plays in the background track :). Greg Lake is a VERY underrated "Guitarist" as most think of him as a Bassist.
    Yes, that is H.R. Giger who does the cover art (and a few years later, the ALIEN designer), which has a whole story behind it (and in my life, surrounding _Brain Salad Surgery_ and when I 1st saw the album in 1973), which I'll save for when you do more from the album. "Toccata" is an interpretation of Alberto Ginastera's Classical piece which also has a grand story when they presented _their_ version to maestro Ginastera. This is yet another piece that may have inspired some of the "Technical" Metal to come decades down the road.
    Other romantic tracks are recommended from your viewers; C'est La Vie (and Keith on Accordion again), and From the Beginning which I just remembered you had reacted to. Both have great acoustic guitar from Greg. There is also the Epic "Trilogy" but its a _break-up_ song, but very beautiful and indicative of ELP going over the top, beautifully :). Lend your love to me Tonight is another good one, as a Solo piece from the ELP album "Works Volume 1".
    I need to get into Van Morrison, when I was younger I couldn't stand him :p. But I got used to a few tracks that would play on AOR FM stations.
    - MM has opened some new doors to explore!

    I figure this is as good a time as any to suggest a new artist you probably have never heard. Richard Thompson. He's highly regarded but most people have never heard of him. I would suggest "Can't Win" or "Vincent Black Lightning."
    But I have to say that your paying requesters are doing a generally great job. What makes this channel pretty great, besides you guys, is that you almost never listen to crap music. If you are really listening to songs for the first time then you're at the mercy of your recommendations. Thankfully, you are not being fed crapola requests like other channels because your fans actually have good taste. (The day you react to a Journey song is the day I unsubscribe lol.) Stay away from the middle of the road - the ride in the ditch is a bit rougher, but a lot more interesting.
