Van Morrison – Tupelo Honey

Thanks to Pat Thomas for this Dylan quote. Pat is working on a Van Morrison bio right now.

“Tupelo Honey has always existed, Van Morrison was merely the vehicle and the earthly vessel for it.” – Bob Dylan

Ronnie Montrose’s minimalist guitar on this track from October of 1971 cuts the heart deeper than a cardiac stint as Rick Schlosser’s elegant drumming punctuates the ethereal vibe perfectly.
