LISTEN TO THE LION,
INSIDE OF ME
Saint Dominic's Preview
is the sixth
studio album
by Northern
Irish singer-songwriter
It was released in
July 1972
by Warner Bros. Records.
Rolling Stone declared it
"the best-produced,
most ambitious
Van Morrison
record yet released."
The diversity of the material
on the album
highlighted Morrison's
fusing of
Celtic folk,
R&B,
blues,
jazz
and the
singer-songwriter genre.
"Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)"
and the title track
were blends of
soul and folk,
while lesser
known tracks such as
"Gypsy"
and
"Redwood Tree"
continued to display
a lyrical celebration of
nature's beauty.
Also on the album
were two lengthy tracks,
"Listen to the Lion"
and the closing
"Almost Independence Day"
which were given primal,
cathartic and intense
vocal performances
from Morrison.
These tracks were
similar to the songs
on his 1968 album,
Astral Weeks.
The album reached number 15
on the Billboard 200
when it was released.
This would remain
Morrison's
highest-charting album
on the
Billboard 200
until 2008
when
Keep It Simple
came in at
number 10.
