His Band and the Street Choir

Van Morrison

A loose, celebratory collection of R&B-inflected rock. Warm brass, communal harmonies, and a relaxed Woodstock energy define this sun-drenched 1970 classic.

It's Van Morrison at his most relaxed, just vibing with a choir of friends and some killer horn sections.

A sun-drenched, celebratory exhale of blue-eyed soul and communal warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The punchy, rhythmic horn blast that kicks off Domino and sets the album's high-energy soul tone.
The loose, almost conversational vocal interplay between Van and the choir on the title track.
The sudden shift to a fragile, Curtis Mayfield-inspired falsetto during the bridge of Gypsy Queen.
