Reviews:
A great Morrison CD
This is one of Van Morrison's greatest CD's from a rather lean period, and a personal favorite, connecting well with the best of his past, and looking forward to the future. "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is worth the price of admission alone, but it has many other great songs including "This Weight" and "The Waiting Game". Highly recommended.As satisfying as a breakfast of oatmeal and stout
Van Morrison churns out an impressive collection of self-penned tunes on "The Healing Game." This set, as solid and satisfying as a heavy meal accompanied by a couple of draft pints of stout, has staying power through repeated listenings. Here Mr. Morrison plays it close to the vest, belting out songs about love, spiritual matters, life's burdens, the pitfalls of fame, and loss.His voice sounds rich and confident, and the songs, heavy on horns and Hammond organ, confirm that Mr. Morrison does some of his finest work when Georgie Fame plies the keys and works on arranging the songs. He also seems to keep Mr. Morrison focused on the sound and grounded in the music, as evidenced in most of their other collaborations. I have to also call out Pee Wee Ellis for supplying some fine saxophone and the backing vocals of Brain Kennedy for offering a nice counterpoint to Mr. Morrison's lead vocal.
But, if, like me, you find that Mr. Morrison's forays into Mose Allison territory on some of his releases not all that satisfying, then you will welcome the density and smoldering fire he has summoned for this recording.
