Magic Time

Van Morrison is often at his best when he takes time to stretch out and let the music come to him. It’s no better exemplified than on the meditative “Just Like Greta” and the expansive “Celtic New Year,” where he refines his endless longing for that perfect time and place locked in his mind. His bizarre sense of humor bleeds through “Carry on Regardless,” making Magic Time a well-rounded look into Van’s singular genius.
