Van the Man – Ireland’s greatest creative artist?

I've just finished reading a challenging new polemic about Music for Grown-Ups fave Van the Man. In the course of celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his masterwork, Astral Weeks, writer Declan Lynch makes the case for Morrison as Ireland’s greatest ever creative artist.

Yes, that’s greater than James Joyce. And Yeats. And the creators of the Book Of Kells.

Convinced? See what you think:

Morrison's back catalogue is being reissued in batches, from next Monday, and a new album, Keep It Simple, is due in March.
