MINT ...FINAL COLLECTION COPY!
ORIGINAL 1971 first pressing in thick gatefold cover :::::
It’s a resolute Van Morrison, aware of his vocal potential, trustful of his songwriting ability and sure he could exert his influence and control an extended ensemble of musicians and their palette of timbres (including, guitars, mandolin, bass, drums, vibes, percussions, acoustic and electric pianos, organ, winds, flutes, steel guitar and several background vocalists), who – with the help of producer Ted Templeman leading the operations, with a perfect balanced album.
Bookended by the bouncing, hot & sensual “Wild Nights” and alternating between a squared Tex-Mex vibe and a tranquil Soul-waltz before it finally and fierily speeds-up to a climaxing ending on “Moonshine Whiskey”, the album travels through multiple ambiances and moods, where Morrison shows that it doesn’t suffice to have an enlarged backing-band, but that it’s vital to know how to use the colors available; that’s namely evidenced in the relaxed mid-part of the album, with guitarist Ronnie Montrose doing the inspired initial brushstrokes for the painting of “You’re My Woman” landscapes, or drummer Connie Kay eruptions of energy on the ballad-tempo of the title track, while Morrison improvises in a jazz-jam spirit with the same ease he puts in evoking feelings, in his ability to play with silences and in building real roller-coasters of emotional levels, such as “Old Old Woodstock”.
Rural inflected waltzes with Surf vibe (“Like A Cannonball”), strummed Folk inspired pieces where Morrison exercises his harmonica talents (“Starting a New Life”) or lively Boogie-Woogie grooves with rolling pianos and tasty electric slide guitar work (“When the Evening Sun Goes Down”) are other options amidst the varied range of moods, a mature Van Morrison conveys passionately.
