Van MorrisonMoving On Skiffle (Blue Vinyl)

Morrison goes back to where it all began, the rough-and-tumble skiffle that hooked a young Belfast kid on music. This sprawling double set finds him romping through washboard-and-guitar standards with infectious, foot-tapping joy and obvious love. It's loose, warm, and gloriously unpretentious, the sound of a legend playing for the pure fun of it. A spirited tribute to the roots that made him.
