Van Morrison’s movement from “Brown Eyed Girl” to a soundscape like this is what made the 60s so musically revolutionary. This album been called “folk jazz” or folk/blues/classical/jazz. In other words it defies easy categorization. It’s been called “stream of consciousness” at least in its lyrical presentation, and that seems true of the music as well. It just sounds like musicians finding their groove. You can drop the needle anywhere and have the same, immersive experience. Astral Weeks defies easy categorization. It’s really good. Before you die, you should hear it.
