Slip slidin’ in the slipstream on the cherry road, it’s all very Van and this album sets a fine tone for our summer ahead, as it did for Van Morrison’s career ahead. I wouldn’t describe it as ground breaking but it has many stand out moments, not least ‘Madame George’ and ‘Slim Slow Slider’, not to mention ‘Astral Weeks’ itself.
