About this album

Astral Weeks is Van Morrison’s masterpiece and one of the most revered albums of 1968. Recorded in New York with a loose, jazz-influenced group led by producer Lewis Merenstein, it moves beyond conventional rock into an intimate blend of folk, soul and improvisation. Morrison’s mystical, stream-of-consciousness writing gives songs such as Cyprus Avenue, Madame George and Sweet Thing their enduring power, while the album’s restless shape and emotional depth have made it a cornerstone of the singer-songwriter era. Initially outside the mainstream, it has since become a touchstone for listeners and critics alike.
