Folk Rock: Astral Weeks (1968) / Van Morrison

Recounting his own Belfast upbringing, Van Morrison’s stream of consciousness lyricism tells the story of profound longing and loneliness. Van Morrison’s love of nature influences Astral Week’s wide variety of acoustic instrumentation where studio musicians provide soothing textures that serve to facilitate this record’ emotional outpouring.
