Description:
Released in 1977 on Warner Bros., A Period of Transition marked Van Morrison’s return after a three-year silence, his longest break from recording up to that point. Produced with Dr. John in New Orleans, the album leaned into rhythm-and-blues grooves, reflecting both the city’s musical character and Morrison’s search for new direction after the spiritual explorations of the early ’70s. Arriving during a turbulent time in the rock landscape, with punk and disco challenging established acts, the record documents Morrison recalibrating his art rather than chasing trends. For music lovers, it reveals an artist navigating uncertainty while drawing strength from collaboration and roots traditions.
