About this album

Saint Dominic's Preview is one of Van Morrison’s most accomplished 1970s albums, balancing vivid songwriting with loose, searching arrangements. Issued in 1972, it followed a run of landmark records and found Morrison drawing together folk rock, soul, jazz inflections and Celtic feeling into a distinctive whole. The album’s best-known songs, including Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile) and the title track, sit alongside expansive pieces such as Listen To the Lion and Almost Independence Day, showing his range from celebratory pop to deep, improvisatory reflection. Its reputation has grown steadily, and it is widely regarded as a key statement in Morrison’s catalogue.
