The fact that Van Morrison can do no wrong is well documented throughout the years and what remains each time is to experience what this genius has to offer. Irish Heartbeat is the outcome of Van's collaboration with The Chieftains, a band which has transported successfully so many listeners to green landscapes and this LP is no exception. With the exception of two tracks, the album consists mainly of traditional Irish classics which are very accessible, and Van's vocals are on the forefront. Of course, the instrumentation is impeccable, which makes Irish Heartbeat feel like a breeze of fresh cold air like the one sweeping the Irish land and mountains.
