After the singularity of Astral Weeks in 1968, the 1970s were the
formative years for the solo career of one of the acknowledged
giants of modern music. Van Morrison was one of the music legends
who defined the decade, with every album bringing out different
aspects to Morrison's vast musical spectrum. His story in the 1970s
is a chronicle of a Belfast artist coming to terms with the voice,
the call, the dream of America. The decade saw Morrison work
through the promise of the land of the blues and jazz, westerns and
railroads, big cities and backwoods. It also saw his own spiritual
quest and the reimagining of a nordic North European heritage and
Caledonian Irish roots alongside the realisation of emigration and
exile. Morrison forged a rich and complex artistic catalogue that
continues down the years to the present day. Beginning with smash
hit Moondance in 1970, his output in the decade continued through
Tupelo Honey via Hard Nose the Highway to 1979's Into the Music. By
the end of the 1970s, he was again using Europe to recast his music
and imagination for another half century in the business, but
throughout most of the decade his songs centred on America as he
created the foundation of an unparalleled legacy
