Following the blues and soul excursions of Morrison's early-'70s albums, VEEDON FLEECE returns to the dreamy, impressionistic folk-jazz sound of ASTRAL WEEKS. Temporarily forsaking the R&B growl he previously employed, Morrison explores his upper vocal range on several songs here, making good use of his falsetto. Songs turn from the romantic and spiritual (the transcendent ballad "Come Here My Love") to the impenetrably elliptical ("Linden Arden Stole The Highlights"). Throughout, Morrison's heady, improvisational vocal style weaves its way through a mystical, mostly acoustic soundscape that is often low-key but never less than engaging. VEEDON FLEECE is a beautiful and too-often underappreciated masterpiece.   Compilation Appearances Last Waltz (Live) Long Black Veil Dream A Little Dream Best Of 1965-74 French Kiss Basquiat Deuces Wild Vol. 1-Chartbusters Usa Sopranos Sopranos-Peppers & Eggs (Explicit Version) Rock Hits Of The 60's Nuggets 1964-69 Original Artyf Vol. 1-Best Of British Blues Chieftains 40th Anniversary Celebrati Greatest Hits Of The Vol 2 Mega Rock 3 Last Waltz (Bonus Tracks) (Live) Casey Kasem Presents: America's Top 10 Through The Years: 60s Folk Years 60s Pop Hits Folk Years Reloaded-Greatest Hits What You Like Greatest Irish Bands/Sightings Of Bono (CD/DVD) Genius Loves Company Capital Gold 80's Legend Vietnam War Years: vol 1 All Time Greatest Movie Song (eng) 60's Rock Experience Spirit Of Woodstock Ultimate 60's Collection 80 Musical History Essential Chieftains Pay the Devil Best Of Blue Eyed Soul Happy Songs Believe What I Say Happy Hippy Hits:54 Flower Power Hits Hooker (Box) (Spkg) The Departed Gold:john Lee Hooker Alternative Acoustic Summer Of Love: Hits Of 1967 (w/ Bonus DVD) Ultimate Melly 70's Box:sound Of A Decade Moonlight Mile (ost) Hear It Now The Sound Of The '60s One Fine Day (Ost)   Associated Artists and Works Lewis, Linda G.
