July AOTM- Van Morrison
July's Artist of the Month is so great, that I thought he deserved a post.Van Morrison is probably best known for the song "Brown Eyed Girl," which is a staple at any wedding reception in the Continental US. It is because of this, that I have actually grown to dislike this song...that and the fact that everytime I hear it, there's always a girl with blue eyes that shouts "blue-eyed girl" everytime the chorus comes around. That is until I beat her until she's unconscious.
But Van Morrison is, in my opinion, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. His 1970 album Moondance with it's haunting, bluesy melodies, is an album that everyone must own. Also, his latest album, Magic Time is pretty awesome as well, especially for a 60 year old.
In short, Van Morrison rocks, and you should buy 1 or all of his albums.
Thank you.

I found you by randomly leafing through blogs...great post, thanks for the recommendation. I really should listen to more of his songs.
Don't do it Mona! Philthy will only break your heart like he has with other artists of the month. The Zutons ruined my life!
