"Weak follow up album"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Van Morrison himself dislikes this album as well as the Tupelo Honey album, this album tries it's best but ends up being a slow, uninteresting album with a lot of filler and not enough good material, with the exception of such songs as “Domino”, “Give Me A Kiss”, “I've Been Working” and “Call Me Up In Dreamland”, the rest of the album wastes the talent of Van Morrison and instead we are stuck with a mediocre album trying it's best to follow on from “Moondance” in which it fails to do so.

Description

Following ‘Moondance's bre­akthrough success, Van Morrison's 'His Band And The Street Choir’ arrived in November 1970.

While ‘Astral Weeks’ and ‘Moondance’ contemplate the cosmos and love's rich conundrums, Street Choir resonates with a purposefully loose ebullience on songs like the Top Ten hit “Domino,” “Blue Money,” and “Call Me Up In Dreamland.”

This remastered version of the album is expanded with five unreleased bonus tracks, including an early, raw take of “Give Me Kiss” without piano, horns or backing vocals. Morrison's im­pressive falsetto gets a workout on Take 3 of “Gypsy Queen,” while the band turns up the funk on the greasy alternate version of “I've Been Working” that's featured he­re.
