Rip Notes
---------

After spending most of the '80s delving deep into Celtic 
imagery, Van Morrison made ENLIGHTENMENT, using the early 
rock 'n' roll and R&B of his youth for inspiration. "Real 
Real Gone" quotes lines from songs by James Brown, Wilson 
Pickett and Solomon Burke to reflect getting squarely hit 
by Cupid's arrow, while "In The Days Before Rock 'N' Roll" 
is where Morrison gets truly nostalgic about the music of 
his youth. As usual, the imagery used by the Belfast 
Cowboy is sharp and buttressed by gorgeous string 
arrangements.

Morrison's ruminations on love and life traipse some of 
the same dark corners as Frank Sinatra's more melancholy 
'50s work. The near-whispered vocals and low rumble of 
harmonica on "See Me Through" are soaked with a spiritual 
restlessness that contrasts the sweetness of "She's My 
Baby" and the upbeat spirit of "Youth Of 1,000 Summers" 
(a song ripe to be used as a comeback by any number of 
'60s soul vets).
