Veedon Fleece

Veedon Fleece, released in 1974, is one of Van Morrison's most introspective records, blending folk and soft rock with Celtic and jazz inflections and soulful vocals. The album favors largely acoustic, pastoral arrangements and stream-of-consciousness lyrics that evoke travel, memory, and spiritual searching, with understated instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, piano, saxophone, and flute. Its quiet, reflective mood and lyrical density make it a deeply personal and atmospheric work from Morrison's early 1970s period.
