Van Morrison

His Band & The Street Choir

60s 70s back in at a cheaper price vinyl reissue complete with original artwork and remastered audio pressed on highquality 180 gram vinyl in addition it comes with a unique redemption code enabling customers to download the complete album as mp3 files from wwwvinylpluscom the dark night of the soul that culminated in 'astral weeks' found its counterpart in morrison's next two albums the seminal 'moondance' and its subsequent sister 'his band and the street choir' both released in 1970 these latter two albums defined the folk soul blues amalgam that would prove to be the foundation of morrison's music the tunes here are among the most soulful in morrison's repertoire the classic opener 'domino' finds him wailing over a punchy horn section and insistent percolating rhythms setting the tone for the rest of the album van rocks his way through the rbinflected 'blue money' gets down on the funk workout 'i've been working' and waxes lyrical on 'if i ever needed someone' which seems to be both a gospel song and love ballad simultaneously 'his band and the street choir' is perhaps morrison's most open exuberant recording
