早速、新譜が届いたので御報告！
一曲目のブルージーな" How Can A Poor Boy?"から"School Of Hard Knocks"ブルースアルバムに挑戦かと思いきや…。結構R&B・ブルース・ジャズ・カントリーそしてアイリッシュなどまでもが溶け合って聴き応えのあるアルバムとなっています。近年のVan Morrisonに関しては好む好まざるに関わらずはずれがありません。
SIDE 4 はアナログ（ＬＰ）のみのボーナストラックとなっています。
このライブを聴いてしまったらVan Morrisonはとにかく、暇を作っても海外まで行ってでも見たくなります。イヤー参ったなぁ～～（＾＾；；
