Free Music Review: The Lion Has Little To Say
Hit: 2 Stars
Trust me, you are not going to listen to "Listen to the Lion" and "Almost Indepencence Day" more than once. Van sings these songs and then tries to stretch them out with improvisation and "scat" singing. Believe me, Van is no scat singer. He grunts and groans as if he is turning into the lion he sings about. It is pointless and irritating. When someone becomes as respected as Van; his fans start cutting him breaks when he makes bad decisions. I think it should be just the opposite. We should hold him to a higher standard. Most of the music on the CD is either uninspired or self-indulgent. When Van sticks to songs, he's great. When he tries too self-consciously to make "art", he fails miserably. Download "Jackie Wilson Said" and skip the rest. This is Van at his worst.
Saint Dominic's Preview Poster
Conceived in the wake of his bucolic classics, Moondance and Tupelo Honey, 1972's Saint Dominic's Preview sustains their mix of crisp R&B ("Jackie Wilson Said") and anthemic folk-rock ("Almost Independence Day") while insinuating a darker, warier spirit to Morrison's music. In what would amount to the first major installment in an ongoing cycle of digs at the music business, the title song pits the singer's authentic art against the false idols of the predators and sycophants surrounding him--a familiar Morrison theme decades on but given a soulful urgency here that makes it tough to dismiss as the ravings of a career curmudgeon. --Sam SutherlandPop Music CDs
