Van Morrison - China Precision Fasteners - Construction Fabrication
Early life and musical roots: 194.564 George Ivan (Van) Morrison was born on August 31, 1945, in Bloomfield, Belfast, Northern Ireland as the only child of George Morrison, a shipyard worker and Violet Stitt Morrison, a singer and tap dancer in her youth. Van Morrison's family roots descendants of the Ulster Scots population in Belfast. From 1950 to 1956, Morrison, who began to be known as the "From" at this time, who attended Elmgrove Primary School. Morrison's father is currently one of the largest collections of Ulster record (acquired during his stay in Detroit, Michigan in early 1950), and the young Morrison grew up listening to artists such as Jelly Roll Morton, Ray Charles, Lead Belly and Solomon Burke, whom Morrison later said: "If it were not for guys like Ray and Solomon, I would not be where I am today. Those guys were the inspiration that I have me going. If not for that kind of music, I could not do what I do. "His father's record collection exposed him to various musical genres like the blues of Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson's gospel, jazz, Charlie Parker, the folk music of Woody Guthrie, and country music by Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers, while the first record he ever bought was by blues musicians Sonny Terry. When Lonnie Donegan a hit with "Rock Island Line" was, Huddie Ledbetter written by (Leadbelly), Morrison felt he was familiar with and able to connect with skiffle music as he had heard before that Leadbelly. Morrison's father bought him his first acoustic guitar when he was eleven, and he learned to play rudimentary chords of the song book, The Carter Family Style, edited by Alan Lomax. One year later, when he was twelve years old, Morrison formed his first band, a skiffle group, "The Sputnik", named after the Russian satellite Sputnik 1 launched recently. In 1958 the band played some of the local cinemas, and Morrison took the lead, bear most of the singing and arranging. Other short-term groups followed at fourteen, he formed Midnight Special, another modified skiffle band, playing a school concert. When he heard Jimmy Giuffre saxophone playing on "the train and the River," he said father into buying him a saxophone, tenor saxophone and took lessons in music and reading. Now playing the saxophone, Morrison along with several local bands, including one called Deanie Sands and spears, with whom he played guitar and shared vocals. Later the four most important musicians of the spears, with the addition of keyboardist Wesley Black, known as the Monarchs. Morrison attended Orangefield High School, which in July 1960 with no qualifications. As a member of a working-class community, was expected to get a regular full-time job, so after a few short internship positions, he settled into a job as a window cleaner later alluded to in his songs, "Cleaning Windows" and "Saint Dominic's Preview. "However, he was developing his musical interests from an early age and continued playing with the Monarchs part-time. Young Morrison also played with the Harry Mack Showband, the Great Eight, with his older workplace friend, Geordie Sproule whom he later identified as one of his biggest influences. At the age of 17, he toured Europe for the first time with the Kings, International Monarchs themselves now. This Irish show band, with Morrison playing saxophone, guitar and harp, in addition to backup duty on bass and drums, toured steamy clubs and U.S. military bases in Scotland, England and Germany, often with five sets per night. While in Germany, the band a song, "Boozoo Hully Gully" / "Twingy Baby ", called Georgia and The Monarchs. This was Morrison's first shot, which takes place in November 1963 to Ariola Studios in Cologne with Morrison on saxophone, but made the lower reaches of the German charts. After his return to Belfast in November 1963, disbanded the group, so connected Morrison Geordie Sproule again and played with him in the Manhattan Showband along with guitarist Herbie Armstrong. When Armstrong auditioned to play with Brian Rossi and the Golden Eagles, Morrison went along and was hired as a blues singer. Them: 196 466 editorial: Them (band) The roots of them, the band that first broke Morrison on the international scene, came in April 1964 when Morrison responded to an ad for musicians for a new R & B club play at the Maritime Hotel an old dance hall frequented by sailors. The new R & B club needs a band for the opening night, but had left the Golden Eagles Morrison (The group he was performing at the time), so he created a new band of The Gamblers, an east Belfast, is formed by Ronnie Millings, Billy Harrison, and Alan Henderson in 1962. Eric Wrixon, still a schoolboy was the pianist and keyboardist. Morrison played saxophone and harmonica and shared vocals with Billy Harrison. They followed Eric Wrixon's suggestion for a new name, and The Gamblers morphed into them, their name derived from the fifties horror movie Them!. The band's strong R & B gigs in the Maritime attracted attention. Them performed without a routine and ad libbed Morrison, creating his songs live as he performed. While the band was doing covers they also played some songs early Morrison's, such as "Could You Would You", which he had written in Camden Town, while on tour with The Manhattan Showband. The debut of Morrison's "Gloria" was place on the podium. Sometimes, depending on his mood, the song may take up to twenty minutes. Morrison has stated that "They lived and died on stage at the Maritime Hotel" believe that the band failed to capture records of the spontaneity and energy of their live performances on their plates. Dick Rowe of Decca was aware of tire performance, and They signed a standard two-year contract. During this period they released two albums and ten singles, with two more singles after Morrison left the band. They had three hits, "Baby, Please Do not Go" (1964), "Here Comes the Night" (1965), and "Mystic Eyes" (1965), but it was the b-side " Baby, Please Do not Go ", the garage-band classic" Gloria ", which went on a rock, others are standard covered by Patti Smith, The Doors, Shadows Knight, and Jimi Hendrix. "Gloria" Morrison's garage rock classic was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. As described by Paul Williams: "From Morrison's voice a bright beacon in the darkness, the lighthouse at the end of the world. Resulted in one of the most perfect rock songs known to mankind. "Problems listening to this file? See media help. Building on the success of their singles in the United States, and riding on the back of the British invasion, she undertook a two-month tour of America in May and June 1966 a three week residency at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles included. The Doors were opening for the last week, and the influence of Morrison on the Doors singer Jim Morrison, was noted by John Densmore in his book Riders On The Storm, "Jim Morrison learned quickly from his near namesake's Stagecraft, his apparent recklessness, his air of subdued menace, the way he would improvise poetry to a rock beat, even his habit of crouching by the bass drum during the instrumental breaks. "On last night the two Morrisons and the two bands jammed together on "Gloria". By the end of the tour the band members became involved in a dispute with their manager, Decca Records' Phil Solomon, the income paid to the band, which, combined with the expiration of their work visas, meant the band returned from America depressed. After another two concerts in Ireland, to break down. Morrison focused on writing some of the songs that would appear on Astral Weeks, while the remains of the band in 1967 reformed and moved to America. Beginning of solo career with Bang Records and 'Brown Eyed Girl "1967" Brown Eyed Girl Morrison's classic 1967 hit single that appeared on the album Blowin 'Your Mind!. In 2007 it was incorporated into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Problems listening to the file? See media help. Bert Berns, they producer and composer of their 1965 hits, "Here Comes the Night," Morrison persuaded to return to New York to record solo for his new label, Bang Records. Morrison flew over and signed a contract that he had not been fully investigated. Then, during a two-day recording session at A & R Studios, from March 28, 1967, eight tracks included originally intended to be used as four singles. Instead, these songs were released as the album Blowin 'Your Mind! Morrison, without being consulted. He said he was only informed of the release of the album with a friend called on a phone call he had just bought a copy. Later commented on Donal Corvin in 1973 interview: "I was not really happy about that. He picked up the bands and music. I had a different concept." However, from these early sessions came "Brown Eyed Girl". Caught on the 22nd on the first day, this song was released as a single in mid-June 1967, number ten in the U.S. charts in 1967. "Brown Eyed Girl" was most Morrison played song over the years and remained a classic, forty years later in 2007, was the fourth most requested song of DJ's in the U.S.. After the death of Bern in 1967, Morrison became involved in a contract dispute with 'widow Berns, preventing it from on stage or recording in the New York area. The song, "Big Time Operators", released in 1993, is supposed to refer to his contacts with the New York music business during this period. He then moved to Boston, Massachusetts and was soon confronted with personal and financial problems, he had "slipped into a malaise" and had trouble concert bookings. However, by the few gigs he could find, regained his professional footing and started recording with the Warner Bros. Records label. The record has a buyout of his contract with Bang Records. Morrison completed a clause that bound him to submit thirty-six original songs by recording within one year comprising thirty-one songs in one session, but Eileen Berns thought the numbers "nonsense ... on music Ring Worms" and not use them. Astral Weeks 1968 Main article: Astral Weeks' Astral Weeks is the power of the human voice ecstatic pain, painful ecstasy. Here is an Irish tenor reborn as a white Negro a white Soul Man begging and pleading on a bed of dreamy folk-jazz instrumentation: acoustic bass, drums, brushed, vibraphone and acoustic guitar, string quartet and the odd natural flute. "Barney Hoskyns Mojo A mix of folk, jazz, and stream of consciousness, but eventually one of his own musical genre, Astral Weeks (1968) is often considered one of the best albums ever made. Astral Weeks song title of 1968 with the first lines of the album: "If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dream." Early voting was described as "harsh and tender, praying and complaining." Problems listening to the file? See media help. His first album for Warner Bros. Records was Astral Weeks (who he had acted in several clubs around Boston), a mystical song cycle, often considered his best work. Morrison said: "When did Astral Weeks, I was hungry, literally. "Released in 1968, the album eventually the good reviews, but it originally received an indifferent reaction from the public. To this day, remains in an unclassifiable genre and is variously described as a hypnotic, meditative, and as holding a unique musical power. It has been compared to French Impressionism and mystical Celtic poetry. A 2004 Rolling Stone magazine review begins with the words: "This is music of such enigmatic beauty that thirty-five years after the release, Astral Weeks still defies easy description admire. "Alan Light Astral Weeks would later describe as" if he had not done anything really previouslynd, nothing that someone had previously had done. Morrison sings about lost love, death and nostalgia for childhood in the Celtic soul, who would become his signature. "It was successful on many lists of best albums ever. In 1995 Mojo list of 100 best albums, it was listed as number two and was number nineteen on the Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003. In December 2009 was voted the top Irish albums of all time by a survey of leading Irish musicians led by Hot Press magazine. Moon Dance to music: 197,079 third solo album by Morrison, Moondance, which was released in 1970, became his first million selling album and reached number twenty-nine on the Billboard charts. The style of Moondance stood In contrast to that of Astral Weeks. Whereas Astral Weeks had a sad and vulnerable tone, Moondance recovered from a cheerful and optimistic message to his music. The title track, although not released in the U.S. as a single until 1977, received heavy play in the FM radio formats. "Into the Mystic" has a vast experience in the following years. The single was "Come Running", which reached the American Top 40. Moondance was both well received and favorably reviewed. Lester Bangs and Greil Marcus had a combined full page review in Rolling Stone, stating that Morrison now had "the striking imagination of a consciousness that is visionary in the strongest sense of the word. '" That was the type of band I dig, "Morrison said of the Moondance sessions." Two horns and a rhythm section they are the kind of bands that I like best. "He produced the album himself as he felt like no one else knew what he was. Moondance wanted was listed at number sixty-five on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest albums of all time. In March 2007 was recorded as number Moondance seventy-two the NARM Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of the "final 200". Over the next few years he released a series of albums, starting with a second in 1970. His Street Band and the choir had a free, more relaxed sound than Moondance, but not perfection, in the opinion of the critic Jon Landau, who felt like "a few songs with a heaviness of "Street Choir" would have made this album as perfect as anyone could have stood. "It contained the hit" Domino " which charted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1971, he released a well received album Tupelo Honey. This album produced the single "Wild Night", which was later covered by John Mellencamp. The title song has a special country-soul feel on the album and ended with another country tune, "Moonshine Whiskey." Morrison said He originally intended to make an album every country. The recordings were alive as possible after the musicians rehearsing the songs would go into the studio and play a whole series at once. His co-producer Ted Templeman, described this process of recognition as the scariest thing I've ever seen. If he has something together, he would immediately set without overdubbing. "Released In 1972, Saint Dominic's Preview, it appears that Morrison's departure from the more accessible style of his previous three albums and move back to the more daring, adventurous and meditative aspects of Astral Weeks. The combination of two styles of music demonstrated versatility not previously found in his earlier albums. Two songs ("Jackie Wilson Said (I 'm in heaven when you smile) "and" Redwood Tree ") reached the Hot 100 singles chart. The songs" Listen to the Lion "and" Almost Independence Day "are each more than ten minutes in the service and the nature of poetic imagery not heard since Astral Weeks. It was his highest charting album in the U.S. until his Top Ten debut on the Billboard 200 in 2008. He released his next album Hard nose the highway in 1973 with mixed but predominantly negative reviews. The album contained the popular song "Warm Love ", but otherwise largely critically dismissed. In a 1973 Rolling Stone review was described as" psychologically complex, musically and lyrically somewhat uneven excellent. "During a three weeks holiday visit to Ireland in October 1973, Morrison wrote seven of the songs that make up his next album, Veedon Fleece. Although it attracted little initial attention, its critical stature has grown considerably over the year sith Veedon Fleece now often regarded as one of the most impressive and poetic Morrison's work. In a 2008 Rolling Stone review, Andy Greene writes that when released in late 1974: "It was greeted by a collective shrug by the rock critical establishment 'and concludes: "He has released many great albums since, but he is never more pressure on the majestic heights of that." "You Do not Pull No Punches, but You do not Push The River ", one on the side of the album closers, exemplifies the long, hypnotic, cryptic references to Morrison with his visionary poet William Blake and the seemingly Veedon Fleece Grail-like object. Morrison would not be a follow up album release for another three years. After a decade with no free time, he said in an interview, he had completely removed to get more music and listen to it for several months. Also affected by block of the writer that he seriously considered the music business for good. Speculation that an extended jam session will be paid either under the title Mechanical Bliss or naked in the jungle, or Stiff Upper Lip, came to nothing, and Morrison's Next album was a transitional period in 1977, a collaboration with Dr. John, who was in The Last Waltz, released in 1976 with Morrison. The album received a mild critical reception and marked the beginning of a very fruitful period of song making. "Wavelength" Morrison sings the opening lines in falsetto and synthesizers imitating the sounds of short wave radio stations he listened as a boy. Problems listening to the file? See media help. Into the Music: "The last four album tracks," Angelou "" and the healing has begun ", and" It's All In The Game / You know what they are writing about "are a real tour de force with Morrison summoning every vote to available trick "Angelou's climactic shouts to the sexually charged, half-mumbled monologue in" And the healing has begun "to the barely audible whisper, this is the album Final Sound. "(Scott Thomas Review) The following year, Morrison released Wavelength, it was at that time the fastest selling album of his career and soon went gold. The title track became a modest hit, peaking at number forty-two. By using synthesizers in 1970, mimics the sounds of shortwave radio stations he listened in his youth. The opening track, "Kingdom Hall" Morrison evoked own childhood experiences to church with his mother and predicted a religious theme that would clearly more in his next album, Into the Music. Considered by Allmusic as "the definitive post-Morrison era classic" in music, was released in the final year of the 1970s with songs on this album, hinting at what would become recurring themes: "religious salvation, Celtic myths and the redemptive power of music." "Bright Side of the Road" is a happy, uplifting song that would appear on the soundtrack of the film, Michael. Common to Avalon Sunset: With 198,089 next album, the new decade after his muse Morrison found a new area and merciless reviews. In February 1980, Morrison and a group of musicians traveled to Super Bear, a studio in the French Alps (record at the site of a former abbey), which is considered to be the most controversial album in his discography, later, "Morrison admitted that his original idea was even more esoteric than the final product. "The album, Common One, consisted of six songs, each of varying length. The longest," Summertime in England 'was fifteen and a half minutes and ended with the words: "Do you feel the silence?". NME magazine Paul du Noyer called the album "gigantic cosmic complacent and dull, an endless, empty and sad egotistical stab at spirituality: The Muzak. "Greil Marcus, even, whose previous writings had been favorable to Morrison, said: "It's Van acting the part of the" mystic poet, he thinks he should be. " Morrison insisted that the album was never "intended to be a commercial plate. "Biographer Clinton Heylin concludes:" He would not need to try something so ambitious. Now every radical idea would be tempered by some notion of commercialism. "But the critics would back the album more favorably to the success of" Summertime in England ". Lester Bangs wrote in 1982," Van sacred music, although he thought he was, and us [sic] rock critics had made our usual mistake of too much attention to the lyrics. "Next album Morrison, Beautiful Vision, released in 1982, had him back on the music of his Northern Irish roots. Well received by critics and the public, produced a minor British hit single, "Cleaning Windows ", which refers to a first job after leaving Morrison's school. Several other songs on the album," Stairway Vanløse " "It gives me Religion" and the instrumental, "Scandinavia" revealed the presence of a new personal muse in his life: a Danish public relations agent, who would share Morrison's spiritual interests and serve as a steadying influence on him throughout most of the 1980s. "Scandinavia", in Morrison on piano, was nominated in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category for the 25th annual Grammy Awards. Much of the music Morrison released throughout the 1980s continued to focus on the themes of spirituality and faith. His album 1983, inarticulate speech of the Heart is "a step towards making music for meditation" with synthesizers, Uilleann pipes and whistles and four of the tracks are instrumentals. The titles of the album and the presence of the instrumentals were observed to be indicative of long-Morrison conviction that "it is not the words you use, but the force of conviction behind the words that matters." During this period of time, Morrison had studied Scientology and gave " Special Thanks "to L. Ron Hubbard on the album credits. A Sense of Wonder, Morrison's 1985 album, put together the spiritual themes in his last four albums, which were defined Rolling Stone review as a "rebirth (in music), deep reflection and meditation (Common One), ecstasy and humility (Beautiful Vision), and a benevolent, mantra as lethargy (unintelligible speech of the heart). "The single," Tore Down a la Rimbaud "is a reference to Rimbaud and an earlier attack on the block writer that Morrison had experienced in 1974. In 1985, Morrison also wrote the music for the film, Lamb starring Liam Neeson. Morrison's 1986 release, no guru, no method, no teacher, said that a "genuine holiness ... and musical freshness to be brought in to understand the context contain. "Critical reaction was positive with Sounds one reviewer to call the album's most intriguing question since Astral Weeks "and" Morrison at his most mystical, magical best. " It contains the song, "In the Garden", which according to Morrison, was a "degree of meditation is a process that 'form' of the transcendental meditation as a basis. It is not TM. He allowed the album as a refutation of the media attempts to place him in different faiths. In an interview in The Observer, he told Anthony Denselow: There are many lies reached over me and it finally determines my position. I never became a member of any organization, nor intend to. I am not affiliated with a guru, do not subscribe to any method and for those people who do not know what a guru, I have no teacher. After releasing the "No Guru" album, Morrison's music seemed less gritty and more Adult Contemporary with the well-received 1987 album, Poetic Champions Compose, considered one of his recording highlights of the year 1980. The romantic ballad of the album, "Someone Like You ", was subsequently incorporated into the soundtracks of several films, including 1995's French Kiss in 2001, both Someone Like You and Bridget Jones's Diary. In 1988 he released Irish Heartbeat, a collection of traditional Irish folk songs recorded with the Irish group The Chieftains, who number 18 years in the British album charts. The title song, "Irish Heartbeat ", was originally recorded on his album inarticulate 1983 Speech of the Heart.'s 1989 album, Avalon Sunset, which featured the hit duet with Cliff Richard" When God Shines His Light "and the ballad" I have lately You "(on which" earthly love transmutes into that for God. "(Hinton), to 13 in the UK album chart. Although regarded as a deeply spiritual album, but also contain a "Daring Night" which "goes with a full, blazing sex, regardless of the church soft organ and singing are set. "(Hinton) Morrison familiar themes of God, wife, his childhood in Belfast and the enchanted moments when time stands still" were prominent in the songs. He can be heard calling out the change of pace at the end of this song, repeating the numbers "1 April". He refers to the simultaneity changes in the music he wants to hear (the first chord and the fourth string in the key of the music). He often completed albums in two days, with the first take frequent standard. The Best of Van Morrison Back on Top at: 199 099 from the early to mid-1990s were a commercial success for Morrison to three albums reaching the top five of the UK charts, sold-out concerts, and a more visible public profiles, but this period also meant a decrease in the critical reception of his work.

A smiling Van Morrison live performances run at the Marin Civic Center, 2007. In 1972, after a performer almost ten years, Morrison began experience stage fright when performing for an audience of thousands, unlike the hundreds if he had seen in his career. He was anxious on stage and would be difficult establishing eye contact with the public. He once said in an interview on the podium: "I dig singing the songs, but there are times when it is very painful for me to get there. "After a short break from music, he started out in clubs, regaining his ability to live on, albeit with smaller audiences. In 1974 live double album, It's Too Late to stop now, on the lists of the greatest live albums of all time. Biographer Johnny Rogan provides that "Morrison was in the midst of what is arguably his greatest stage as a performer.

During the concert, he performed two songs, including "Caravan," from his 1970 album Moondance. Greil Marcus, in attendance at the concert, said: "Van Morrison turned the show around ... singing to the rafters to ... and burn holes in the floor. It was a triumph, and like the song, Van began to kick his leg into the air out of sheer exuberance and kicked his way right behind the scenes as a Rockette. The crowd gave him a fine welcome and they cheered wildly when he left. "The concert was filmed as the basis for Martin Scorsese's film 1978, The Last Waltz. It was during his association with the band that Morrison "has acquired the nicknames" Belfast Cowboy "and Van the Man."

Morrison was scheduled to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert on October 30, 2009, but canceled. In an interview on October 26, Morrison Don Imus told his host that he had planned to play "a few songs" with Eric Clapton (who had canceled on October 22 due to gallstone surgery), but they do something else together in "a different phase of the game". Partnerships In 1990, Morrison developed a close association with two vocal talents opposite ends of their careers: Georgie Fame (with whom Morrison has occasionally worked) lent his voice and Hammond organ skills to the band of Morrison and Brian Kennedy vocals complement the gray voice of Morrison, both in the studio and live performances. The year 1990 also saw an increase in collaboration with other artists by Morrison, a constant trend in the new millennium. He took the Irish folk band The Chieftains on their 1995 album The Long Black Veil. Morrison's song, "I did the last time you" would a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 1996.

In 2004, Morrison was one of the guests the album of Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company, the two artists that Morrison's "Crazy Love". Vocal music with his characteristic growl mix of folk, blues, soul, jazz, gospel and Celtic influencesorrison Ulster Scots is widely regarded by many rock historians as one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll. Critic Greil Marcus has gone so far as to say that "no white man sings like Van Morrison." What started Morrison live performances of 40 years old album Astral Weeks in 2008 There were comparisons with his youthful voice 1968.is early voting was described as "harsh and tender, praying and complaining." Forty years later, the difference in his vocal range and power were felt, but the reviewers and critics, the response was positive: "Morrison's voice has extended its frame to fill a deeper, louder roar than the blue-eyed soul voice of his childhood to soften the diction, but nevertheless a surprisingly powerful. "Morrison also commented on the changes in his approach to singing:" The approach is now to sing from lower down the [diaphragm] so I do not ruin my voice. I used to sing at the top of my throat, which tends to the vocal cords wreck over time. Singing from the lower regions of the abdomen can my resonance too far. I can stand four feet of a microphone and very resonantely hearing. "Songwriting Morrison wrote hundreds of songs and lyrics during his career with a recurring theme because of a nostalgic longing for the carefree days of his childhood in Belfast. Some of Song titles are derived from known locations in his youth, such as: "Cyprus Avenue" (a nearby street), "Orange Field" (the boys went he went to school), "On Hyndford Street" (where he was born). Often present in the Morrison's best love songs is a mixture of the sacred-profane, as evidenced by "Into the Mystic" and "So Quiet in Here". Starting with his 1979 album, the music and the song "And the Healing has begun ', a common theme of his music and lyrics is based on his belief in the healing power of music with a mystical form of Christianity. This theme has become one of the main qualities of his work. His lyrics show an influence of the visionary poet William Blake and WB Yeats and others, like Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. Biographer Brian Hinton believes "Like any great poet Seamus Heaney to Blake's words, he takes back to their roots in magic ... Indeed, Morrison's poetry back to its earliest roots as in Homer and Old English epics such as Beowulf or the Psalms or folk song in all those words and music combine into a new reality. "Another biographer John Collis believes that Morrison's style of jazz singing and repeating phrases gone lyrics as poetry or as Collis said: "He has more chance of a sentence like a mantra, or burst into scat-singing again. The words can often prosaic, and can hardly be poetry. "Morrison has his songwriting method described by saying that:" I write from another place. I do not even know what it is called or the name. It's just me and sculpture, but it's also a lot of hard work sculpting. "Performance style" Van Morrison is interested, obsessed with how much musical or verbal information he can compress into a small space, and, almost, conversely, how far he can one note, word, sound or picture spread. To capture a moment, be it a caress or a twitch. He repeats certain phrases to extremes that someone else seems ridiculous, because he was waiting on a vision to unfold, trying as unobtrusively as possible to divest them ... It is the excellent search engine, fueled by the belief that through these musical and mental processes illumination is feasible. Or at the very least a glimpse. "Lester Bangs Greil Marcus Critic argues that given the truly distinctive breadth and complexity of the work of Morrison, the almost impossible to work to bring those of others: "Morrison remains a singer who can be compared to any other in the history of rock & roll, a singer who could not be pinned down, dismissed, or built into the expectations of someone. "Or in the words of Jay Cocks," He extends only to express themselves. Only with great rock & roll figuresnd even in that business, he is one of the greatestorrison is adamantly inward. And unique. Although he was free musical boundaries. and B, the Celtic tunes, jazz, rock rave-up, hymns, down-and-dirty blues is perfectly located in the same strange place: on his own wavelength. "His transcendental characteristic style fully reflected in 1968 with his classic Astral Weeks. This musical art form was based on the stream of consciousness songwriting and emotional vocalizing of texts no basis in the normal structure or symmetry have. His live performances are dependent on the building dynamics with spontaniety between him and his band, which he controls with hand gestures wide, sometimes improvised solos alert in a selected member. The music and vocals build into a hypnotic and trance-like state that is dependent on in-the-moment creativity. He said that he believes in the jazz improvisational technique of performing a song and never twice the same except for the unique rendition of the songs Astral Weeks Live, a concert does not perform a predetermined set list. Morrison said he preferred to act at smaller venues or symphony halls are known for their good acoustics. His prohibition achoholic beverages entertainment news published in 2008, was an attempt at disturbing and distracting movement of members of the audience leaving their seats during the performances to avoid. In an interview in 2009, Morrison said: "I did not deliberately intended to take the listener anywhere. If anything, it is my goal to own my music. If the listener catches the wave length of what I'm saying or singing, or receive, regardless of the item means to them, then I think as a writer I could have done one day hard work. "The music of Van Morrison Genre has encompassed many genres since his early days as a blues and R & B singer in Belfast. Over the years he has recorded tracks from a list of different genres from many influences and interests. Alongside blues and R & B, his compositions and covers are moved between Pop, jazz, rock, folk, country, gospel, folk and Irish traditional, big band, skiffle, rock and roll, new age, classical, and sometimes spoken word ("Coney Island") and instrumentals. Morrison describes himself as a soul singer. Some of Morrison's music is classified in a genre of his own soul and referred to as "Celtic" or what biographer Brian Hinton as a new alchemy called "Caledonian called soul." Another biographer, Ritchie Yorke Morrison noted that he believed "the spirit of Caledonia in his soul and his music reflects that. "According to Yorke, Morrison claimed to have discovered" a certain quality of the soul "when he first visited Scotland (Belfast ancestors were The Ulster Scots descent) and Morrison said he believes there is a connection between music and soul music Caledonia. Yorke says that Morrison "discovered a few years after he first began composing music, some of his songs lend themselves to a unique large-scale modal (no seventh), which was obviously the same scale as that used by pipers and ancient Irish and Scottish folk music. "Caledonia was the name" Caledonia "has played a prominent role in the life and career of Morrison's. Biographer Ritchie Yorke had already demonstrated in 1975 that Morrison has referred to Caledonia so often in his career that he "seems to be obsessed by the word." In his biography of 2009, Erik Hage found that "Morrison seemed very interested in his Scottish ancestral roots during his early career, and later in the ancient landscape of England, then his repeated use of the term Caledonia (an ancient Roman name for Scotland / Northern Britain). "Besides the fact that his daughter middle name is the name of his first production company, his studio, his books, two of his backing group, and he also took a cover of the song, "Caldonia" (the name spelled as "Caledonia") in 1974. Morrison uses "Caledonia" in what was called a typical moment in the Van Morrison song, "Lion" Listen to the text: "And we sail and we sail up to Caledonia. "Only in 2008, Morrison uses" Caledonia "as a mantra in the live performance of the song" Astral Weeks " included two concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. Influence Morrison's influence is easily heard in the music of a wide range of important artists and according to The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll (Simon & Shuster, 2001), "his influence among rock singers / songwriters is unmatched by any living artist outside the other prickly legend Bob Dylan. Echoes from rough ness literate Morrison and his grumpy, feverish emotional vocals can be heard in these last days icons ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Elvis Costello. "His influence includes U2 (much of The Unforgettable Fire), Bono (" I'm impressed by an artist like Van Morrison. I had stop listening to Van Morrison records about six months before we The Unforgettable Fire, because I did not want his soul very original in my own voice to overpower. ") John Mellencamp ("Wild Night"), Jim Morrison, Joan Armatrading (the only musical influence she will recognize), Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, Rickie Lee Jones (recognizes both Laura Nyro and Van Morrison as the main influences on her career), Elton John, Graham Parker, Sinad O'Connor, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, Bob Seger ("I know that Bruce Springsteen was heavily influenced by Van Morrison, and so was I. "Creme interview) (" I worked ") Dexys Midnight Runners (" Jackie Wilson Said "), Jimi Hendrix (" Gloria "), Jeff Buckley (" the way young Lovers Do, "" Sweet Thing "), Nick Drake and many others, including the Counting Crows (their "sha-la-la" sequence in Mr Jones, is a tribute to Morrison). Morrison influence reaches far into the country music genre, with Hal Ketchum admit, "He (Van Morrison) was a big influence on my life." Morrison's influence on the younger generation of singer-songwriters everywhere is, including the Irish singer Damien Rice, who is described as on his way to the "natural heir to Van Morrison, Ray Lamontagne, James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, Eric Lindell and David Gray are also a number of younger artists influenced by Morrison. Glen Hansard of Irish band The Frames (which lists Van Morrison as part of its holy trinity with Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen) covers generally his songs in concert. American rock band, The Wallflowers are "Into the Mystic". Canadian blues-rock singer Colin James has also covered the song on his frequent concerts. Actor and musician Robert Pattinson said that Van Morrison was his "influence to do of music in the first place ". Morrison has shared the stage with Northern Irish singer-songwriter Duke Special, who admits Morrison has a strong influence. General Morrison does not usually support other artists, often voluntarily share the stage with them during his concerts. On the live album, A Night in San Francisco, he had as his special guests, including his childhood idols: Jimmy Witherspoon, John Lee Hooker and Junior Wells. Although he often expresses his displeasure (in interviews and songs) with the music industry and media in Generally, he has helped promote the careers of many other musicians and singers such as James Hunter, and fellow Belfast born brothers, Brian and Bap Kennedy. Personal Morrison lived in Belfast life from birth until 1967, when he moved to New York after signing with Bang Records. Facing deportation due to visa problems, managed He managed to stay in the U.S. when his American girlfriend Janet (Planet) Rigsbee agreed to marry him. Once married, Morrison and his wife moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he found work in the local clubs. The couple had a daughter, Shana Morrison, who has become a singer-songwriter.
