Van Morrison "The Healing Game" cassette tape
Twenty years before Van wrote songs about Facebook, he finally stopped pretending he cared about hits or trends and just put on his black hat and jacket and accepted that he was a great, aging, Soul man. His twenty-sixth studio album features everything that we had come to expect and love from him in middle age — Yeats, silence, saxophone, groove and a couple of songs that leave you breathless. On this one, we get "Rough God Goes Riding" and “Sometimes We Cry,” among others. I was kind of surprised that they still made cassettes in 1997, but sure enough, they did.
