Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the wonderfully loose, exceptionally joyful follow-up to 'Moondance', Van Morrison leaned heavily into laid-back, highly infectious R&B grooves. Featuring the timeless hit 'Domino', 'His Band and the Street Choir' is a beautifully warm, fiercely uplifting blue-eyed soul record wrapped in wonderfully melodic, pastoral folk-rock textures.
