Van Morrison / You Win Again – CD (Used)

Description

Author: Morrison, Van

Format: Import

Release Date: 03-10-2000

Details: Over the years Van Morrison has steadfastly refused to be categorised. Since 1968’s classic Astral Weeks, he has embraced folk, R&B, pop, rock, jazz, blues and gospel. Back in 1988, Van joined The Chieftains on Irish Heartbeat to celebrate his love of traditional music. Later, on The Skiffle Sessions, he returned to the music of his teenage years. Now in partnership with Linda Gail Lewis, sister of piano-pumping Jerry Lee, Van revels in country & western, shot through with a healthy slice of R&B. Highlights include three Hank Williams songs–« Jambalaya », « You Win Again », « Why Don’t You Love Me »–and this is a timely reminder that the original Fifties rock & rollers like Jerry Lee Lewis drew as much on white C&W as on black R&B. The lack of original material stops this being vintage Van–amidst the Fats Domino and Bo Diddley covers is just one Van original, the quirky « No Way Pedro »–but this is still a welcome addition to an awesome back catalogue. –Patrick Humphries
