Astral Weeks

Recorded in New York in a few sessions in 1968, Astral Weeks set Morrison's voice and acoustic guitar against jazz players, including bassist Richard Davis, with strings added afterwards. The songs drift back to Belfast streets and stretch into long, open-ended forms. It sold modestly at first and grew into one of the most revered albums of its time.
