5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect "get you out of your present mood" music, June 22, 1999
By 
JWFaull@hotmail.com (Renton, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Too Long in Exile (Audio CD)
I got into this album during my post college depression and while dealing with breaking up with my girlfriend. It made me laugh (Van does some crazy stuff with his voice in "In the Forest" that made me laugh so hard i had to keep replaying it, cry (his duet with John Lee Hooker on "Wasted Years" will make anyone contemplate their life, and get inspired (if "Till We Get the Healing Done" doesn't make you want to make a change nothing will. Don't buy this album if you can't turn it up loud, you need to allow the soul to enter you body and get the healing started. Might as well buy "The Healing Game" also.

4.0 out of 5 stars A recording which needs to be re-evaluated., December 9, 1998
This review is from: Too Long in Exile (Audio CD)
Recently, I began listening to Van Morrison's Too Long in Exile after a long period of time away from Van the Man. The songs had new meaning and seemed to speak in a different way from what I remembered when the disc was first released. The timeless blues rifts seemed to have more meaning and the quality of the recording have made this release stand the test of time. Van's later works should be as fine as this one. The highlight of the CD is an excellent interp. of Lonely Ave., the Doc Pomus classic from the late 50's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just plain a great album, July 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Too Long in Exile (Audio CD)
You cannot help but like this album. The title track is like the Peter Gunn Theme: you could do it a million different ways, but somehow the original is the best. "Ball and Chain" is superb. "Till we get the Healing Done" should be on anybody's meditation list. So many other songs on this album are good, it is hard to describe their appeal -- they span so many styles. This album is also one of the best deals in music today -- 15 good tunes on one CD.
