- Tops

Probably my favorite Van Morrison album.

- NUMBER TWO!

Second only to Astral Weeks. Just a great playable album from start to finish. His vocals are the greatest and the band rocks along. Moondance was a hit, Caravan stole the show at the Last Waltz. And Into The Mystic is his best song of all times. The single album version is fine and you do not need the expanded or deluxe versions. Just get the CD, vinyl, or download and listen to this man seek to your soul! Uncle Joe's Tunz!

- One of the Best!

Top Artist, many top songs from Van

- Amazing music with soul

Too bad Van lost his. #getvaccinated

- A Legend at the Height of his Game!

Dude was taking LOOOOONG strides in February of 1970!!! Still waiting for the 'Tupelo Honey' LP release on iTunes?! Talk about yer 'Everything But the Kitchen Sink!'

- One of my all-time faves

I love this album. I first purchased it in the 80's on vinyl. Then as a cassette and then as a CD..twice. I now have it in I-tunes. Cant go wrong with VanMorrison.

- Great

Into The Mystic is worth five stars on its own, and the rest of the album is just as good.

- Perfect

the most

- warbaby43

This, together with Tupelo Honey, could be the best one two punch ever!

- Van THE MAN!

Hmm, what can I say? In Love! True to my heart, and ever loving! Hits every spore of my soul. I guess I'm just a fan💽☀️

- One of the greats

Van at his best!

- Moon dance

Van in the middle of road while not exactly selling out for commercial success but delivering a commercially friendly effort that has become a corner stone of his recording career . Stepping stone for his most commercially high profile period for the next subsequent releases. I guess it’s a classic while not a bad number on it .

- I don’t support jerks

Sorry, he has proven himself to be a self centered ignorant idiot…… not buying any of his music

- Classic!

This is one of those LP’s that I have just discovered in its entirety. Into the Mystic is such an incredible song. As well as the rest. Written and in recorded in the New York, Woodstock area. Wow. Top 10 albums for me.

- Belfast Cowboy

Saw his show November 2013 in NYC. Always has great musicians backing him up. He can change his voice from jazz and blues to rock in no time. Horns,guitar,piano and harmonica. He does it all. Go see him!

- One of the greatest singer/song writers of the world

what a voice! what vocals! love love love VM!

- Excellent

Van Morrison good is brilliant

- One of the best

It's a really magical, timeless album. You don't have to be a Boomer to appreciate the raw beauty of this album. :)

- Great

This is the album we (baby boomers) put on to seduce the girls that often became our wives and subsequently the mothers of all you Gen-X'ers and Millennials. Great, great album.

- Muy good

Muy good. It’s my current religion.

- Superb album

I first heard Moondance & Caravan on the West Wing. From that moment I've become a fan, for me this is his best album. Just turn it on and drift away. Or also it really is perfect for those long drives it make the journey very relaxing and enjoyable. If your a music fan this is a must have album you won't regret buying it. If your new to Van the Man this is a fantastic place to start. Worth the money.

- Brilliant

Buy all of Van Morrison's music as he is a gift in our busy modern day lifestyles. Relaxing and we'll miss him when he's gone.

- Essential

Moondance Wiki

Moondance is the third studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released on 27 January 1970 by Warner Bros. Records. After the commercial failure of his first Warner Bros. album Astral Weeks (1968), Morrison moved to upstate New York with his wife and began writing songs for Moondance. There, he met the musicians that would record the album with him at New York City's A & R Studios in August and September 1969. The album found Morrison abandoning the abstract folk jazz compositions of Astral Weeks in favour of more formally composed songs, which he wrote and produced entirely himself. Its lively rhythm and blues/rock music was the style he would become most known for in his career. The music incorporated soul, jazz, pop, and Irish folk sounds into songs about finding spiritual renewal and redemption in worldly matters such as nature, music, romantic love, and self-affirmation. Moondance was an immediate critical and commercial success. It helped establish Morrison as a major artist in popular music, while several of its songs became staples on FM radio in the early 1970s. Among the most acclaimed records in history, Moondance frequently ranks in professional listings of the greatest albums. In 2013, the album's remastered deluxe edition was released to similar acclaim.
