#60 Van Morrison, 'Astral Weeks' (1968)

Van Morrison’s second album is quote unlike his first. For a start, there’s nothing on it like ‘Brown Eyed Girl,’ and that’s what the world was expecting. The found of Bang Records, the label he was signed to had unexpectedly died. His widow blamed Morrison as the two had been arguing over the direction of his new music. Bert Berns wanted Morrison to head to a more pop orientated sound, but Morrison wanted to explore new terrain.
