Stormy ------   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info On this pristine-sounding reissue of his 1971 album, vocalist/pianist/songwriter/associate of Van Morrison Georgie Fame slides through 12 mellow original compositions, including "I Believe In Love," "Children Of My Mind," "Foolish Child," and the title cut. Going Home boasts a maturity and subtlety often missing from Georgie Fame's previous LPs. Its simple approach strips away some of the more gimmicky elements of his earlier efforts, emphasizing the increasingly honest soulfulness of his vocals. Keith Mansfield's thoughtful arrangements likewise eschew excess in favor of a wonderfully mellow sound that perfectly underscores Fame's natural warmth and grace. Electric piano grooves further establish the set's smoky, jazzy atmosphere. Best of all are the songs, each of them covers and impeccably chosen. Kenny Rankin's "Peaceful" proves a particularly evocative selection. ~ Jason Ankeny   Compilation Appearances Best Of Van Morrison Vol 3   Associated Artists and Works Morrison, Van Morrison, Van Van Morrison Van Morrison   Technical Info Release Date : 01/11/2001 Original Release Date : 1971 Catalog ID : ESCA-7849 Label : Sony Music Distribution (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 49880107849288    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
