About Van Morrison
Van Morrison was born George Ivan Morrison, Aug. 31, 1945 in Belfast, Ireland and became one of the most talented figures in rock 'n' roll. Van Morrison is an extraordinary performer whose consistency during his 30-plus-year career is virtually unmatched by any other pop artist. He is a spectacular vocalist whose influence has been felt since his early days as leader of the Irish rock group Them, and whose records--especially his 1968 masterpiece Astral Weeks--are commonly regarded by critics as among the finest of the rock era. From the '60s through the '90s, many of the most revered artists in pop--including Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Bob Seger, and Patti Smith--have drawn inspiration from Van Morrison's recorded legacy.
Van Morrison's recognition as a solo artist came after Them had disbanded in 1966 and producer Berns sent the singer a one-way plane ticket to New York to do some recording. Out of those sessions came Morrison's first solo hit--1967's top 10 single "Brown Eyed Girl"--and an accompanying album of alleged "demos" on Berns's Bang Records label called Blowin' Your Mind. A disgruntled VAn Morrison still maintains that the record should not have been released; regardless, it is a superb set that features some of his most fascinating work--including the tracks "T.B. Sheets," written about a friend with tuberculosis, the bluesy "He Ain't Give You None," and initial versions of two songs that would later pop up on Astral Weeks, "Madame George" and "Cypress Avenue."
Already suspicious of the workings of the music business due to his experience with Them, Van Morrison would see those "demos" be issued twice more by Bang Records and again by Sony Music as Bang Masters in 1991. Though producer Berns is long since dead, Van Morrison still holds a grudge, as his 1993 track "Big Time Operators" attested: "Well they told me to come on over/I made my way to New York/And they tried to have me deported/Stop me from getting work/Blacklisted me all over/They were vicious and they were mean/They were big time operators/Baby, on the music business scene."

As the '90s unfolded, a new groundswell of appreciation for Van Morrison's work became apparent. The Best Of Van Morrison, a collection of the singer's work since his Them days, became only his second platinum album since 1970's Moondance; it has stayed on the album charts largely since its initial release. Additionally, 1991's 2-CD Hymns To The Silence went gold; aside from the preceding year's compilation, the singer hadn't had a gold record since 1971's Tupelo Honey. Polydor released The Best Of Van Morrison, Vol 2 in 1993, then quickly followed it up the singer's fascinating Too Long In Exile. Featuring a guest appearance by longtime Morrison friend and bluesman John Lee Hooker (who duets on an unexpected remake of "Gloria") and covers of songs by Doc Pomus, Sonny Boy Williamson and Brook Benton--all sitting side by side with Morrison's adaptation of a text by W.B. Yeats, no less--the album was a perfect blend of Blowin' Your Mind and Veedon Fleece.
Van Morrison has become unbelievably prolific since then, releasing five albums since 1994's live set A Night In San Francisco. All of them are varied; some are jazzy, some are straight jazz--and all of them, bottom line, are Van Morrison. There is no one else in pop music who hears or plays music like Van Morrison, and each new album
