Van The Man
I’m settin here on the group W Bench checkin’ out Van Morrison on Austin City Limits on PBS and I must say Phenomenal!!! Doin some old blues, Country, And Big band stuff. Playin Sax and singin’ St. James Infirmary. Definitely some Great Ear Candy. I can’t remember the last time I saw or heard someone use a Pedal Steel Guitar and Country Fiddle in a Rockabilly setting. Anybody know Did Van Put out an album of such things?

Apparently, Van has gone country like Jerry Lee and Ray Baby before him…… All you had to do , J-Do, was check Amazon and you would have found out that he released a new album in March entitled, “Pay The Devil”, which includes a version of, if you can believe it, “Your Cheatin’ Heart”……..

I have been a Van Morrison fan since the days of “Gloria” when he was a member of “Them”. In his long career he has recorded albums of various genres. Rock, Jazz, R&B, Celtic, Religious. Seems like a logical progression. Wish I’d caught the PBS show.
