Our Take
Van Morrison's latest album, "What's It Gonna Take," is a meandering stroll through the mind of a musical legend. With his signature gravelly voice and soulful lyrics, Morrison takes listeners on a journey through love, loss, and the changing seasons. The album opens with the track "Gypsy in My Soul," a jaunty tune that sets the stage for what's to come. Morrison's unmistakable vocals are still in fine form, delivering a mix of nostalgia and longing that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of even the most cynical listener. Songs like "Dark Night of the Soul" and "In Search of Grace" showcase Morrison's ability to blend folk, blues, and rock in a way that only he can. The instrumentation is top-notch, with a band of seasoned musicians backing up the legendary singer-songwriter every step of the way. However, "What's It Gonna Take" does have its moments of weakness. Tracks like "Same Old Story" and "Days Gone By" feel a bit too formulaic, lacking the spark and creativity that fans have come to expect from Morrison. Overall, "What's It Gonna Take" is a solid addition to Van Morrison's extensive discography. While it may not reach the heights of some of his earlier work, there are still plenty of moments of beauty and brilliance to be found. So, if you're a fan of the Belfast Cowboy, this album is definitely worth a listen. Just don't expect it to blow you away.
