Matrix #: WS-1835

Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: Morrison left Belfast for the U.S. after Them, carrying contract fights and exile-like distance from home into his early solo work.
-
Studio Lore: Moondance was built with jazz-trained players in Woodstock, giving Morrison a looser band feel after the more private Astral Weeks sessions.
-
Media Narrative: The album turned Morrison from cult mystic into a broader singer-songwriter figure, without fully sanding down his difficult, private edge.
