Album Notes & Community Reviews
Van Morrison expanded the acoustic warmth of his recent masterpieces with sprawling, incredibly ambitious Celtic folk-rock arrangements. 'Saint Dominic's Preview' is a beautifully pastoral, fiercely passionate singer-songwriter triumph, balancing wonderfully uplifting, deeply melodic R&B with intensely poetic, heavily orchestrated progressive folk suites.
