I notice yer man doesn't attempt the Gaelic in Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta but then his voice already swoops and meanders like a wobbly saw - a gift from the faerie folk, surely?

Irish Heartbeat (Van Morrison) - 3:52 rating: **** stars As mentioned above, if my home caught on fire and I had to grab ten records before the blaze got out of control, this is one of the LPs I'd try to save. His verbal machinations are more annoying than usual when applied to traditional acoustic music, though some of them are interestingly reminiscent of Native American and other aboriginal moanings (particularly "My Lagan Love", where he also pronounces his consonants with John-Lydonesque emphasis).

Van Morrison can't hold a note long anymore and his vocal range is as limited as ever, but he can still belt out a tune with vigor and emotion and his loud, clipped notes fare best on the boisterous ditties. Pretty much, however, it is played straight.

Some of it is Morrison in his sunniest mood, and it's impossible not to get up and dance on some of these tunes. There are more lyrical songs to provide some respite for dancing feet: in My Lagan Love, Van warbles away seductively like a warm wind; beautiful Carrickfergus, the homesick lament of a tipsy wanderer. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations, Select the department you want to search in, the combination of Van Morrison's gravely voice (but perfect pitch) and traditional Irish music. But Chieftain fans will, with few exceptions, be better off elsewhere. This was a collaboration between Van Morrison and legendary, veteran Irish traditional band The Chieftains.

Van is doing some Celtic inspired tunes with the Chieftans and it goes over really well. Prime members enjoy Free Two-Day Shipping, Free Same-Day or One-Day Delivery to select areas, Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading, and more. On the other hand "Celtic Ray" will make you deeply thoughtful about the blessings of family and tribe, and "Carrickfergus" and "She Moved Through the Fair" will send chills down your spine. I tend to be very conscious about my Irish roots, which are Orange and Green, so it took some time for me to get used to the fact that Morrison seems to be drawing heavily on black influences when he does Raglan Road.

I should have bought this when it first came out. The traditional Irish songs are not turned into upbeat, R'n'B or Celtic Soul versions, they are delivered authentically. Songs like "Raglan Road" give Morrison and the Chieftains a chance to elevate the popular song to true art. On their wide musical journeys in the '80s, the Chieftains decided to collaborate with Van Morrison, who had an artistic peak at the end of the decade. So this one's recommended for diehard Van fans only. You can't say that for everything. Check it out. You can still see all customer reviews for the product. Arguably the five year period between 1985 and 1990 was the most sustained upward arc of the long and frequently mercurial career of Morrison. Along with the family came way too many weekends hanging out at Irish bars listening to the usual litany of traditional Irish folk songs. You don't have to be a fan of Irish music to love this CD; it rises to the level of world class musical entertainment.

The six man Chieftain unit on "Irish Heartbeat" played together longer than all other editions of the group combined. Don't get in arguments with people here, or start long discussions. "Irish Heartbeat" was a landmark album because it was the first attempt by Celtic traditionalists, The Chieftains, to collaborate with well known popular music singers.
