Three chords & the truth

"Given Three Chords and the Truth's 70-minute run time, there's a lot to digest, but it's worth it. Morrison is in excellent voice throughout; his energy is kinetic and his songwriting - even when he's complaining - is fresh, humorous, soulful, and insightful. A natural companion to Keep Me Singing, this is Morrison at his best".

"Most would rightly apply "living legend" status to Morrison, yet the spirited way he approaches everything here, makes it seem like he's decades younger. Based on the vibrant, often vivacious Three Chords and the Truth, he still has plenty of artistic gas left in his tank".

"Like his peer Bob Dylan, Morrison has found resonance in singing standards of a sort. This time around they're all of his own design, and his fitful, relentless desire for cosmic fulfillment animates them. Comfortably appointed in his twilight years, he's still chasing enlightenment, haunted by "the things I might not yet know," as he puts it on "Dark Night of the Soul." For Morrison, there are always mysteries left to articulate".
