What is spinning?

Hey Mr. P.,

Van Morrison is, with occasional exception, that good. His recent work, "Keep It Simple" is serviceable enough though I much prefer the currently spinning:

I went through a bit of a Van Morrison phase a few years back. A lot of his stuff is pretty good, but boy, he really churns them out.

A couple that I really like are "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher" from the 80s, and "Too Long in Exile" from the 90s. I love the last track on "Too Long in Exile". If you haven't heard it, its a long rambling bluesy piece, and includes some fine saxophone playing by Van. I'm a great fan of Van's saxophone playing, it has an Irish lilt to it that I really like. Its just a pity that he doesn't play it more often. This album benefits greatly from the contribution of Georgie Fame, in my opinion.

Waking up slow on a Saturday afternoon, brew up a pot of coffee, pop some aspirin and put on a record. Right now:


Bill Withers: Just As I Am

Debut album featuring the big hit, Ain't No Sunshine. But, don't think that's all there is. Sure, that's an absolute highlight, but the whole thing's nothing but top notch, earthy acoustic soul music that showcases a fine voice.

Gonna cue up some Bunny Wailer next, Blackheart Man on deck. Coffee and vinyl, my favorite way to ring in a new day with time to kill.
