This is Sir Van Morrison's 36th album release and it sounds like he’s starting to get the hang of this singer/songwriter thing. But, seriously, this legend has not rested on his laurels; he continues to evolve. Save for the blues standard “Share Your Love with Me,” Morrison penned a dozen tunes that stand with some of his best. There is no pretention or false swagger, just an honest delivery of heart and soul. His vocals have aged gracefully and the lyrical strength of tracks like “Out in the Cold Again” and “The Pen is Mightier than the Sword” is unparalleled.
