Album Notes & Community Reviews
A remarkably joyful, deeply domestic celebration of marital bliss and rustic country living, Van Morrison's fifth solo record is arguably his most overtly happy album. 'Tupelo Honey' is incredibly warm and beautifully soft, weaving wonderfully lush, heavily country-tinged acoustic folk-rock with fiercely passionate, highly sentimental reflections on romantic devotion.
