Free Music Notes for The Best of Van Morrison Volume 3Free Music Review: Great selection Hit: 4 Stars
I won't call this definitive, but the collection's got some previously unreleased and seldom heard numbers that merit the price and hype. This is a very listenable CD that's something you can just stick in the changer and let it play. Definitely worth the money.
Free Music Review: Great Overview Hit: 4 Stars
Many old favorites and some new ones grace this album, A few tracks are not appealing to me but on the whole I am very happy with the selections and my feet were tapping as soon as it began to play. I can never have too much of Van.
Free Music Review: Best Of Van Morrisson, Vol 3 Hit: 4 Stars

Very enjoyable.
I would recommend it to all Van Morrison fans ...
Free Music Review: Continuing writers block Hit: 3 Stars
Despite having most of this already I paid out my money and what did I get? A reasonable overview with some obscurities, one of which "Blue and Green" is worth the cost on its own. While the music is all first class the compiling has created some jarring between tracks. I've always loved The Skiffle Sessions album but Lost John between Leaves Come Falling Down and Tupelo Honey sounds bizarre. Nearly all the tracks he has re-recorded are done better in their original incarnation and one gets the feeling that with this, the movie "best of" and the country abomination Pay The Devil before them that he has nothing to say at present. I love Morrison's music and sincerely hope there is more of it to come, its now been a fair number of years since there has been an album of original material and he is overdue for his muse to return.
Free Music Review: Disappointed Hit: 3 Stars
I'm a big fan of Van Morrison but was disappointed by some of the "updated" versions of some of the old classics. Like a prior reviewer mentioned, the original versions (the songs I love and remember)are far superior to some of the modified material in this compilation. I will keep searching for a definitive "Best of...". I would recommend listening to all the song samples before buying the album to make sure you like these versions - something I failed to do.
