    Re: This is a must have in any collectio

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 2, 2001

    I'm in my early 20s, too and bought this album while in college. This is the album that made me fall in love with Van's music. Now some 30+ Van albums later in my collection, I have to say this is still the defining disc.

  • Overall:

    Beautful vocal, fantastically arranged.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 23, 2000

    This CD is a mixture of fantastic songs that have a fantastic jazzy feel to them , with the best instumental and unreal vocal to go with it. Van Morrison might not have particularly liked the selection chosen to portray his best, but I certainly lov...e it. A CD you MUST own.CLASSIC. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Best of Van Morrison [Mercury] (Remastered)

  • All Music Guide

    For an artist that's doggedly album-oriented, plus a songwriter who revels in subtlety, Van Morrison doesn't seem like a logical candidate for a successful greatest-hits compilation. Nevertheless, The Best of Van Morrison is a cracker-jack compilation, tracing Van the Man from his days with Them, through his best-known tunes ("Brown-Eyed Girl," "Moondance," "Blue Money," "Wild Night"), to highlights from the '70s and '80s cult efforts, topped off by "Wonderful Remark," a song first heard on the King of Comedy soundtrack. This collection makes Morrison's work seem a little more immediate and accessible than it usually is, but that's a blessing, since it provides a great summary of his hits and a nice introduction for the curious. Yes, it could have dug deeper into the catalog, but as a sampler, it can't be faulted.

Biography

Van Morrison

Equal parts blueeyed soul shouter and wildeyed poetsorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of RB, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock roll canon. While a notoriously difficult and eccentric figure whose steadfast... Read more
