Free Music Review: It ain't why, it just is....
Hit: 5 Stars

This was my first Van Morrison album. It's his most unique, idiosyncratic album ever. Many people dislike this album for many reasons. It's very long for one. It runs just under an hour, and that was unheard of in the LP era. There are no real "singles" on here, and two of the tracks, Summertime in England and When Heart Is Open, run around 15 minutes. I call this progressive Celtic soul. The songs seem short to me, as they are achingly beautiful. Haunts of Ancient Peace and Summertime in England are my favorites. I memorized the lyrics to Summertime when it came out (nearly 300 words), and I still sing along to it. Haunts of Ancient Peace has one of the most majestic sax solos ever. This music is so passionate, richly atmospheric, and full of depth. It's a really remarkable album. I think every Van fan should listen to this again. This turned me on to Morrison, and it belongs in the top five Van Morrison albums...

Common One Poster

Unavailable in the U.S.! 2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the Rock icon featuring two bonus tracks: alternate takes of 'Haunt's Of Ancient Peace' and 'When Heart Is Open'. Originally released in 1980, Common One again baffled the critics with its meditative, Jazz-influenced spiritual style, helped by Mark Isham's atmospheric trumpet and Pee Wee Ellis on saxophone. At the heart of the album are two remarkable, 15-minute epics: 'Summertime in England', with its beautiful strings and stream-of-consciousness lyrics and 'When Heart Is Open', - with its subtle horns echoing Miles Davis's 'In a Silent Way', creating a serene, enthralling atmosphere. The album also features two of Van's most soulful tracks of the period: 'Wild Honey' and 'Satisfied'. Universal.
