COLLECTION STARTS WITH KEEP IT SIMPLE DOUBLE LP SET - ORIGINAL RELEASE WITH 3 BONUS TRACKS THAT WERE ONLY ON THIS VINYL RELEASE NOW OUT OF PRINT AND OUR LAST COPY FOREVER
Those familiar with Van Morrison’s ever mercurial muse could hardly have been surprised when he turned up on the artistically centered, avant-country label Lost Highway to pay tribute to a era-spanning slate of country icons on the Nashville imprint's ‘06 collection, Pay the Devil. But while the ensuing years were dominated by several rich anthologies of Morrison’s work, he’s returned here to masterfully show his love of country was no passing fancy. As the title suggests, Morrison’s self-produced approach to the genre is both musically and emotionally elemental, a no frills approach that fits him like a well-worn pair of Tony Llamas. Indeed, even as he’s addressing matters of musical style and substance in an unusually introspective way on "That’s Entertainment" and "Soul," the veteran’s singing here is so natural and deceptively effortless as to disguise how forcefully Morrison has immersed himself in the country mold – or, more to the point, remade it lovingly in his own image, also marking the first time in several years he’s penned all the songs on one of his albums. Whether offering a little tutelage about the vagaries of fate on "School of Hard Knocks," taking W.C. Handy’s "St. Louis Blues" as the starting point for the slow-burning, Hammond B3-seeped country blues lament "Don’t Go to Nightclubs Anymore," or preaching the backroads Zen gospel of the title track and Banjo-seasoned elegy "Song of Home," Morrison’s warm, world-weary voice connects with themes that are as familiar as sunshine – and every bit as fundamentally complicated.Product Description
On April 1st, Lost Highway will proudly release Keep It Simple, the new album from Van Morrison. Keep It Simple is Morrison's first album of new material since 2005, and the first in several years in which he composed all 11 songs specifically for one album.In the interim the legendary artist had a year that may be unprecedented for any living artist, having released three separate collections of his hits, with the latest, Still On Top entering the UK charts at #2 and selling platinum, proving the ongoing appetite for his unrivalled work.
His music has always incorporated the widely varied influences he heard and absorbed since his childhood days on the streets of Belfast- long before the bands of his youth and his initial breakthrough with the band he started early on- called "Them."
On Keep It Simple, Morrison honors all those varied influences - Ulster-Scots Celtic, Jazz, Folk, Blues, Country, Soul and Gospel - and an added surprise of a mighty Ukelele -most times melding them all together at once creating his unmistakable signature sound.
In some of these songs Morrison addresses the propaganda of the myth perpetrating rock music world. There is a definite theme that recurs throughout the album, especially in the title track.
In keeping with that idea, Keep It Simple does not boast the big horns or expected string arrangements of some of Morrison's previous work. What it does feature are gorgeous songs rich with emotion, depth and beauty.
The LP edition boasts 3 additional tracks recorded live in 2008: "Blue And Green", "Little Village", "And The Healing Has Begun".

Review by Rolling Stones - “MOONDANCE is an album of musical invention and lyrical confidence.” Review by New Musical Express - “Ranked #17 in NME’s list of The Greatest Albums of The ‘70s.” - Review by Vibe - “Included in Vibe’s 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century.” Van Morrison (vocals, acoustic guitar) - John Plantania (guitar) - Jack Shrorer (saxophone) - Jeff Labes (keyboards) - Garry Malabar - drums.
Where on previous recordings Van Morrison had implied Soul and R & B roots, on MOONDANCE he set them free. He had rarely sounded so relaxed, whether on the bubbling joy of “And It Stoned Me”, the finger-popping ease of the title track or the celebratory bliss of “Caravan.” Morrison reveled in the music’s tight arrangements, clearly enjoying the punchy horn section “Glad Tidings” and empathizing with a quieter, acoustic settings “Crazy Love”. MOONDANCE shows an artist enraptured by a new-found musical freedom, from this moment on everything he sang had soul.

After a young Van Morrison left his Belfast R&B-pop band Them following a couple of U.K. hits in "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night," American producer-songwriter Bert Berns brought him to New York for 48 hours in early 1967 to record the tracks that would become BLOWIN’ YOUR MIND.
Berns died shortly thereafter, but the tracks he cut included the song that launched Morrison's solo career--the U.S. top 10 hit "Brown Eyed Girl." - voted the 49th Best Single of All-Time.
Most of these songs have been released on early Morrison compilations, including some on this same label. Originally produced by Epic/distributed by Sony Music on Bang Records in 1968 - this is a repressed version in its original format with great psychedelic artwork on the cover.
Contains some youthful vocal magic on the soul standard "He Ain't Give You None," the stark and graphic "TB Sheets," and the strange and wonderful "Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye)."
This was undoubtedly Morrison's first period of transition. After the release of BLOWIN’ YOUR MIND! he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to work on his next album, the landmark Astral Weeks.
Tracks include: Brown Eyed Girl - He Ain’t Give You None - T.B. Sheets - Spanish Rose - Goodbye Baby - Ro Ro Rosey - Who Drove The Red Sports Card and Midnight Special.
