T.B. SHEETS - 7089

Review Van Morrison, weaned on blues records while growing up in Belfast, concentrates pungent feeling in his voice on this mid1960s singles session for Bang Records. Breaking loose from Eric Gale's blues-rooted guitar, the twenty-one-year-old blends sensuality, despair, and courage facing a dying woman friend in "T.B. Sheets" and at the same time creates an emotional-mythic bond with John Lee Hooker that's solidified by Morrison's appearances on the elder statesman's Never Get Out of These Blues Alive (MCA CD) and Mr. Lucky (Pointblank/Charisma CD). See also Morrison's five-star 1973 concert set It's Too Late to Stop Now (Warner Brothers, two CDs) for his deeply personal incantations of Bobby Bland, John Lee Hooker, Sonny Boy Williamson, Ray Charles, and Muddy Waters. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
