Into The Music

Into the Music is the eleventh studio album by Northern Irish singer/songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music).

Typical of Morrison's music, the album draws on a variety of styles, from New Orleans R&B to Philly soul and Celtic folk, with featured soloists, saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis and violinist Toni Marcus. On first release this album was hailed as a "comeback" after two lacklustre releases, charting at number twenty-one on the UK Album Charts in 1979. Its reputation has grown since release and it is often regarded as among Morrison's greatest albums.
