Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's
true innovators. While a notoriously difficult and eccentric figure whose steadfast rejection of commercial
trends kept him absent from the pop charts, Morrison nevertheless enjoyed a massive cult following that
grew throughout the course of his lengthy and prolific career. Subject only to the whims of his own muse,
his recordings cover extraordinary stylistic ground virtually unmatched among his contemporaries.
