When Van Morrison visits a recording studio, you can bet your exhausted vinyl archetype of Hard Nose the Highway he will not leave until he has recorded some actively astral Irish dejection balladry ("Celtic New Year"), tributes to his pop-culture heroes ("Just Like Greta") and a lot of mellow, easy-rolling folk-jazz numbers about the evils of the avant-garde apple and the attempt of the poet. On Magic Time, Morrison vows to "Keep Mediocrity at Bay," even admitting "They Sold Me Out," because they couldn't annihilate the "Gypsy in My Soul." "The Lion This Time" is a agreeable lullaby, hearkening aback to the 1970s Morrison archetypal "Listen to the Lion," with affable violins and vocals, and "Lonely and Blue" is a attractive R&B bake carol aces of Little Willie John.
