15 April 1977 · 50 YEARS
A Period Of Transition
Van Morrison
Dr. John contributed piano work and co-production to these sessions, helping the artist find his footing after a three-year break. The music captures a musician working through personal reflection.
The sound leans toward a polished R&B aesthetic that mirrors the late seventies preference for smoother production. It moves away from earlier mystical folk leanings in favor of a tight, ensemble-based feel.
