        Since others have already gushed about 'Astral Weeks' and 'Moondance', I thought I'd give 'His Band and The Street Choir' some love. This album completes a trio of timeless classics from an underrated musical genius. Songs like Crazy Face, Gypsy Queen, If I Ever Needed Someone and Street Choir find Van @ his soulful best. This album also contains one of the most beautiful and romantic love songs ever written, I'll Be Your Lover Too. I am not a very romantic or sentimental person, but that song moves me every time I hear it. It reminds me of how I feel about my wife and still gives me goose bumps when I hear it. In my view this album doesn't get the respect it deserves. It may not be as ground breaking as the first 2 in the trilogy, but if you love those masterworks you will surely find much to love on this classic.

        Who Is…Michael Kiwanuka

        By Christina Lee, eMusic Contributor

        Before Michael Kiwanuka topped BBC's Sound of 2012 poll and earned himself a thousand comparisons to Bill Withers, the singer-songwriter wanted to sound like Jimi Hendrix or The Band. He pined for a Fender Stratocaster, instrument of choice for both Hendrix and Robbie Robertson. However, things don't always work out the way you plan them, and Kiwanuka ended up reaping the lion's share of attention for an instrument he already had: his rounded, worn voice,… more »

        Six Degrees of Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks

        By Anthony DeCurtis, eMusic Contributor

        It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

        After the brilliant one-two punch of Astral Weeks and Moondance, His Band and the Street Choir brings Van Morrison back down to earth, both literally and figuratively. While neither as innovative nor as edgy as its predecessors, His Band and the Street Choir also lacks their overt mysticism; at heart, the album is simply Morrison’s valentine to the R&B that inspired him, resulting in the muscular and joyous tribute “Domino” as well as the bouncy “Blue Money” and “Call Me Up in Dreamland.” – Jason Ankeny
