Van’s 2012 release is both his most recent and his most irreverent in some time. Morrison can be funnier than hell, as he allows on the opening track “Open The Door (To Your Heart)”, when he opines “Nobody gets what they want/ Everybody just gets fat/ What’s the use in that?”, the sort of real-politique worldview one would sooner expect from Randy Newman or Warren Zevon. The crushing “End Of The Rainbow” evokes the late, great Chet Baker, a man who knew a thing or two about a dismal end. The fearful, knowing “If In Money You Trust” advises “it’s not enough.” It never is.
