Van Morrison — Tupelo Honey: Reviews
A Work Of Genius
Tupelo Honey is a work of genius. There's the gorgeous title track with its delightful imagery and the swirling "I Want To Roo You" with its foot tapping rhythm. The catchy "When That Evening Sun Goes Down" has a propulsive rhythm whilst the structural complexity of "Moonshine Whisky", with its tempo changes and delectable female backing vocals makes for a magnificent composition similar to some of those meandering gems on Astral Weeks. "Wild Night" is a powerful R&B outing with an old time rock and roll feel and "Straight To Your Heart" is another melodic rocker. I also love "Old Woodstock", a song filled with warmth and joy. And that is what this album celebrates - domestic bliss and the joy of life. In its own way, it is therefore as spiritual as most of his best work, although perhaps not so overtly mystical. Well whether you're into Van for his poetry or for his tunes, this album will please you. It's a masterpiece.
Recommended.
