Van Morrison

Feel free to skip over the ubiquitous frat party romp of "Brown Eyed Girl" (yes, it is a good song), and move on to the harrowing folk-tinged R&B Van Morrison recorded for the Bang label after the demise of Them and before Astral Weeks took off. Most important, take a listen to "T.B. Sheets," one of the most devastating tracks Van has ever recorded.
