Product Description
CD Description
When you're what the music industry calls a "career artist", with an appeal based on something more substantial than one hit single or album, you can go one of two ways. You can coast along from album to album, churning out variations on the formula that made you successful early in your career, oryou can remain a vital, inventive artist, probing the outerreaches of your craft and continually searching for new vistas. THE HEALING GAME proves--not that there was any doubt--that Van Morrison is definitely in the latter camp.
Whiletracks like "Rough God Goes Riding" and "Waiting Game" rideon the same R&B feel that has been the backbone of many Morrison albums, the lyrics paint a portrait of a man whose struggle with the verities of love, life and death is unending.Through these conflicts, the Celtic soul man is continuallyforced to seek out new ways of dealing with the world and himself. Bolstered by his longtime cohort, organist Georgie Fame, and a full complement of first-class R&B musicians (including former James Brown sideman Pee Wee Ellis), Morrison tries to quench the fire in his soul through the cathartic healing power of the music.
