As Sweet as Tupelo Honey

Sometimes, we make what turn out to be pretty good decisions even when we're not so sure we had the ability to make such a good decision. One of mine was being a major fan of Van Morrison since my early teenage years.
So, I was pretty happy when I got a review CD from Elizabeth and Govindan Kartha, our very good friends at New World Record on Elmwood Avenue, recently; New World Record is the first entity we entered an underwriting/sponsor agreement with at http://Buffaloroots.com, and happily and proudly did so. The CD, Magic Time, is pretty good, and indeed, is one of those CDs which improves with repeated play/listening. The songs that stand out to me include "Celtic New Year," "They Sold Me Out" and "Just Like Greta," and Morrison sounds best here when he relaxes, which is most of the time, and often he is in elegiac R&B, jazz and Celtic moods.
Val was good enough to get me two Morrison CDs recently reissued, Tupelo Honey and Veedon Fleece, among other gifts for our anniversary in June, and they join Moondance as probably my favorite Morrison recordings, but you won't go wrong in getting Magic Time.
