Review

Van Morrison is the second-best improvisatory singer in rock history (after Aretha Franklin), never singing a song the same way twice. What's more, he's continually fooling around with songs--both originals and covers--that never make it onto his "official" albums. The two-CD Philosopher's Stone serves up 30 unreleased studio tracks from 1971 to 1988. There are some glaring omissions (the 1971 Pacifica High sessions, his collaborations with Bob Dylan and Chet Baker), but what's here (including collaborations with Mark Isham, Jackie DeShannon and the Chieftains) is fun, and two tracks ("Flamingoes Fly" and "Stepping Out Queen") are incandescent. --Geoffrey Himes
