Everybody starts somewhere. Even the greats. Those are some exciting times. That’s where you get a glimpse into what got the artistic motor started in the first place. When young musicians are making little to no money, what are they singing? Because that is the stuff they really love. It’s not a money thing. It’s a music thing.
It’s in that spirit we highlight Van Morrison and Them on this week’s Sunday Jams. Let’s check out the foundation on this absolute gem of an artist. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Put this one repeat. This Bob Dylan cover deserves multiple listens every time I put it on.
Michael,my music brother from another mother. I was thrilled that you featured one of the coolest and uniquely talented artist on the planet, Van Morrison. It was awesome that you went back to his beginnings with Them. You can the hear the absolute raw talent that was developing into the legend that he is today. Great choices on the songs,especially the Bob Dylan cover. One of my favorites. What a pick for Sunday Jams. It’s awesome to have someone who enjoys and celebrates great music the way you do. Thanks,Michael!
Woohoo! Thank you! I am fascinated by the foundations of musical artists…what inspired them… got them rolling. It all seems to come back to R&B… blues… and country. And how great do these old tune hold up!? Holy shit! (we have wonderful taste btw. LOL)
