  Indie Notebook

  For more years that should have been allow and before the days of everyone having the internet, people would try to tell me Van Morrison was dead. That was probably because of American radio only playing the same few hits of his that they wanted to play and him hardly ever appearing on American late night talk shows. I happened to catch the video of the title track of this album by flipping by VH-1 the week it came out in 1995. I loved the jazzy sound and lit up thinking to myself "I knew he wasn't dead and this proof!" I went out and bought the album. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to get as many of his albums as I could. I didn't know how much of a life changing treat I was in for! For me, Morrison has songs and albums to fit every mood. Jazz, rock, blues, soul, poetry and philosophy rolled all into one. My favorite solo artist and it all started with this album. His few and far between performances with David Letterman on both the NBC and CBS late night shows are great moments in TV history including the promotion for this album.
