Van Morrison's Veedon Fleece

has an ineffable rhythm built into it's musical structure and lyrical cadence. I had this on vinyl years ago, and just purchased a replacement CD version this week. Wow. Van Morrison is one of those islanders, Belfast I think, who have followed their muse, through several bogs and ditches, but who have made sublime music along the way. Seems a little prickly, probably because Moondance defined him in the public's mind; and there was much more interesting work besides that over-played song. Veedon Fleece is a sort of melancholy Celtic-swing album, if that makes any sense. Wish I had replaced my vinyl years ago.
