That said, some of his releases have been so sedentary that they muted the '60s soul influences that had been a part of Van's joyful appeal. Not so with Magic Time, a wonderful balance of groove and smoothness, with a \"live off the floor\" feel evident throughout the disc. Right off the top, \"Stranded\" shows Van at his crooner best; relaxed, present, and joyful. \"Celtic New Year\" comes next, with a very Astral Weeks feel, leading one to believe that this disc might be sedentary through and through…until \"Keep Mediocrity At Bay\" kicks in, a feisty blues romp that shows that in his sixties, Morrison still has the sass of his best previous days. Van's cover of Sinatra's brassy \"This Love of Mine\" and Perry Como's \"I'm Confessin'\" are full of his cheek and charm. Morrison, as producer, has chosen stellar horn sections that elevates the music from good to great and comes from an obvious deep love of classic blues and soul. He's a lover and a fighter (the disc has two references to his disdain of the music industry (\"They Sold Me Out\" and \"Carry On Regardless\")), but ultimately true to his own musical vision. This destined-to-be-classic release will please a wide variety of his fans. --Denise Sheppard\nEssential Van Morrison\n\nProduct description\n\nBrand New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 602498712658\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0602498712658\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 3 09871265\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46403751805187,"sku":"1Z-DQCD-SR46","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51YNGRVACPL.jpg?v=1739429664","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/magic-time","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
