Veedon Fleece changed my life. It shows the true soul of this amazing Irishman. It will move you, make you move, and touch your soul. Definitely the best album he has ever made.Free Music Review: How Did This Ever Get Overlooked?
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one Van Morrison record that seems to have gotten better with age. When it first came out, and for many years after, it seemed that Veedon Fleece did not get its due as a great record. I recall reading one review (I don't recall where - it was a long time ago) that suggested Veedon Fleece was part of Van Morrison's downward slide in the mid to late seventies. Thankfully, the years have actually been good to this recording. The objectivity of hindsight reveals that Veedon Fleece certainly belongs with Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band and Streetchoir, Tupelo Honey and St. Dominic's Preview as Van's greatest work. In my opinion it is almost as great as the first two. Van's singing here is as passionate as you will ever hear it; the music lays the groundwork for everything that comes after in the Van canon; and is as elastic, jazzy and soulful as any music he made. It is interesting that of his great 1970's recordings, only this and Astral Weeks do not have a song meant to be a possible "single" to be marketed on the radio. The music's the thing here, and if his fans want to come along they'll be rewarded; but the casual radio listener probably wouldn't have the patience or introspective nature to get into this music. If you love Van Morrison get Veedon Fleece if you don't already have it.Free Music Review: How Did This Ever Get Overlooked?

For years Van Morrison was the most hardworking songwriter in the business. This is the best record ever released.
