Van Morrison: Inarticulate Speech of the Heart (1983)

Untitled
More than just an album title, “inarticulate speech of the heart” is an evocative, breathtaking description of the humble act of prayer. It captures in a simple phrase that desperate expression of pain and need, as well as the floundering over words inadequate to communicate one’s joy over a new love or a gorgeous country sunrise.

That's an interesting, and accurate, description. This is a pretty amazing record, though it's a low key and mellow affair.

I dealt with a fairly battered copy of this LP for years, until I saw a near mint copy for about $6 somewhere. I brought it home and dumped my old, beaten up copy.
