This eloquent trad-rocker is a gem from George Ivan “Van” Morrison’s later career. First released on the full and excellent 1991 recording, Hymns to the Silence, this many-layered tune offers numerous wise and poetic turns of phrase such as Van’s characterization of his audiences, “there were hypocrites and parasites and people that dream” and his depiction of a musician’s career, “it’s just a job, you know, and it’s not Sweet Lorraine.” Crank the volume and enjoy!
