Avalon Sunset by Van Morrison
Avalon Sunset is an album by Van Morrison, released in 1989. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Have I Told You Lately”, on 7 lists with a best position of #47.
Avalon Sunset, Van Morrison's nineteenth studio album, came out on Mercury in 1989 and landed with both the critics and the buyers. Better than two decades on from fronting Them, Van the Man is still steering his mix of soul and Celtic tradition toward the spiritual, and here the journey sounds unhurried and at peace, folk rock with a glow on it.
"Have I Told You Lately" is the song that outgrew the album, a hushed, tender ballad that rock radio's countdowns have kept hold of long after 1989. The remastered reissue of 2008 tacked on a different take of "Whenever God Shines His Light", plus a "When the Saints Go Marching In" that Morrison dressed up with fresh words.
