258: Legendary Bang Sessions of Van Morrison
I smile every time I hear these early essential songs from one of the finest soul singers of our time. This is a MUST for fans of the brilliantly soulful voice of Van Morrison, investigating and celebrating the first Van music post-THEM (his seminal rhythm and blues band that gave us “Here Comes the Night”, etc.), in songs that takes us well beyond Van’s Brown Eyed Girl, which by the way started out with a different title about something else brown she had. Put a pin that and come dive inside the Legendary Bang Sessions of Van Morrison – his earliest American recording sessions captured by Bert Berns in New York City in March 1967. If you love soul singers, we’re pretty sure this one’s sure to be Blowin' Your Mind!
