1968's Astral Weeks remains not only Morrison's masterpiece, but one of the greatest records ever made. A haunting, deeply personal collection of impressionistic Folk styled epics recorded by an All Star Jazz backing unit including bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay, it's poetic complexity earned critical raves but made only a minimal commercial impact. Astral Weeks had been dark and anguished.
