Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Down the Road continues the magnificent journey that George Ivan Morrison began when he first heard the call of the blues as a child growing up in post-war Belfast. In keeping with the open-hearted nature of his best work, "Whatever Happened to PJ Proby?" and "What Makes the Irish Heart Beat" hinge on candid revelations and tender insights. Journalists may tiresomely characterise him as obdurate, but with songs like "Choppin' Wood", simultaneously a hymn to working-class perseverance and a deeply felt ode to his late father, Morrison is the most autobiographical songwriter of his generation.

With a band comprising long-time associates like David Hayes and 1960s guitar-great Mick Green, the dovetailing of Morrison's many influences is assured. His voice is the astounding instrument at the centre, capable of touching deep feelings others dont even know exist. On the awesome "The Beauty of the Days Gone By", he sings of how memories will "keep me young as I grow old". It certainly sounds as if he's found the perfect elixir. --Gavin Martin

4.0 out of 5 stars 今尚健在, 2002/8/24
何十年も音楽活動を続け、これほどのクオリティを
持った作品を今尚出せるというのはやはり凄い。
少し辛口で四つ星にはしてみましたが。
まだヴァン・モリソンを聴いたことがないが聴いてみたい
というリスナーの方にこれを是非お薦めしたい。
勿論、往年のファンである方にも必聴の出来だと思います。

4.0 out of 5 stars ルーツてんこ盛り, 2005/9/3
By matsuda76 - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
前作『You Win Again』ではLinda G Lewisとのデュエットでカントリー色の強い側面を披露したが、本作ではVan Morrisonらしい様々なルーツをふんだんに盛り込んだ内容の濃いアルバムになっている。
しかし『Back On Top』や『What's Wrong With This Picture』のような張りつめたような完成度の高さ、というよりももう少し肩の力を抜いた作風。
Mick Greenの少し違和感のあるギターカッティングも聞き所。
ジャジーな楽曲にGreenのロックンローラー丸出しカッティングもおつな物です。
ジャケに写っているLPには思わずニンマリ。これら大物ジャズマン、ブルーズマンの亡霊と楽しく戯れるVanが頼もしい一枚。
