...Too long in exile This was first produced in 1993 I have not listened to this cd for a while come sit down next to me and listen. Van Morrison sings blues.

...This album reminds you just how incredibly good Van Morrison is. From the initial cheerful melodies of “Bright Side Of The Road” to the closing moments of the final track, “Dweller On The Threshold,” I was completely hooked. Classic hits such as “Moondance,” “Brown Eyed Girl” and the ultimate love song “Have I Told You Lately” are all on here, along with songs you may not be so familiar with. However, it is these songs which give you the nicest surprise, for they are all instant classics themselves, with “Did Ye Get Healed” and “Queen Of The Slipstream” as standout tunes. You don’t need to be a Van Morrison fan to love this album.... Read review

By age 11 he had mastered guitar, sax, and harmonica and began perfoprming with skiffle bands in local dance halls. In the swinging '60's he joined the Monarchs and toured U.S air bases in West Germany. Beginning to improve himself versus different public and american buddies.

After Them disbanded, Van Morrison rebegan a solo carreer. And one of the best album... Read review
