Free Music Notes for The Best of Van Morrison Volume 3
Free Music Review: Spotlighting a less publicized part of his career
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a 2CD 31 song set chosen by Van himself that spans 1993-2005. Always a prolific artist, this is taken from his many CDs of the period as well as a few guest appearnces he's done on other artist's CDs and a few unreleased songs. Most of his later day songs don't get the radio airplay that his earlier stuff did but when you listen to it, it is very worthwhile. There's a few remakes here of earlier classics and although some may not like them as much as his original versions, I think they offer an interesting and different slant on songs like "Moondance" and "Gloria". There's almost 2 1/2 hours of music here and a generous running time of a great artist like Morrison makes this set well worth the price.Free Music Review: The Legend Continues...

This 'Best Of' is a must for any Vanatic (Van fan)... but more importantly it is a must for anyone who thinks Van's career ended in the 1970s... all the tracks on "Vol. 3" are from 1993-2005 - Van's later writing and singing are well represented on this compilation and with a superb supporting cast of John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Carl Perkins, Lonnie Donegan, Bobby "Blue" Bland and the great Georgie Fame as they come along for the journey...
Van is still a mighty force in a world that needs more soul and less pop.

Free Music Review: Best of Van Vol 3 a must for your Ipod
Hit: 5 Stars
Fans of Van Morrison will be pleased with this collection in that the song choices were from Van himself.
Those less familiar will find themselves hooked on this well balanced collection of more recent works by Van Morrison including some exceptional duets with the likes of Ray Charles, BB King, Tom Jones, Jim Hunter, Jimmy Witherspoon, the Chieftains, and John Lee Hooker. There are also some notable remastered, live and never before heard selections and some classics from Van's last several releases.
Highly recommended.

The first two "Best of Van Morrison" were ok, but this one, the one he did the choosing, is absolutely superb - I can listen to it over and over, it is just so beautiful. I actually think I like every selection, but everyday I have a new favorite. Just starting out with "Cry for Home" with Tom Jones blows me away. Van always seems to sense the right mood, the right words, the right music to, as he puts it so well, "steal my heart away." This cd spoils me for the others I'm afraid - it is fabulous!! I never get tired of it!Free Music Review: Rock the gypsy in your soul

An amazing compilation of Van Morrison's enchanting and haunting melodies. Although I am not a big jazz or blues fan, he has managed to put those two elements together in a way that is a lyrical treat. The melodies are addictive and very catchy. As he has matured, his renditions of some of his earlier works are performed now with more conviction, passion, and confidence than ever before. Van is an extremely talented musician and lyricist that successfully impacts music for the ages. I could listen to Van Morrison 24/7.
