A Van Morrison studio outtake of murky origins – it has to be late 60s/early 70s, maybe from the Moondance sessions Not sure if you could call this a “song,” exactly. It’s a vamp (a Vanp), with Morrison cycling through two chords, coaxing his band along, singing a few stray phrases. Not much more happens over the course of 16+ minutes, but the whole thing is positively hypnotic. Van Morrison is notorious for being a bit of a grouch personally, but he’s filled with joy here. He doesn’t want to play this music, he wants to live in it. And for a little while, he wants you there, too. - http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/36669374221/caledonia-soul-music-a-van-morrison-studio from the bootleg album Van Morrison Meets Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, The Chieftains, & The Danish Radio Band - 1997
