Van Morrison ‎– Veedon Fleece VG+/NM

Released in 1974, Van Morrison’s “Veedon Fleece” marked the end of a creatively fertile period for the artist. Recorded shortly after a personal upheaval, the album finds Morrison returning to his roots. Influenced by a trip to Ireland, the music sheds the soul and R&B of his previous work, embracing a more Celtic, acoustic sound. The lyrics, introspective and poetic, mirror the emotional landscape of a man grappling with change. Often compared to his earlier masterpiece “Astral Weeks,” “Veedon Fleece” trades grandiosity for a quiet intensity, offering a glimpse into a new chapter of Morrison’s artistic journey.
