Morrison wrote most of the songs while he was staying with Herbie Armstrong in the Cotswold village of Epwell, England, and the sense of place is reflected in the spirit of the music. During this time, he would often walk through the fields with his guitar composing the future album's songs. [3]Dutchcharts.nl – Van Morrison – Into the Music" (in Dutch). Hung Medien.

The 29 January 2008 reissued and remastered version of Into the Music contains alternative takes of "Steppin' Out Queen" and "Troubadours". Hope’s what they send you for a speedy recovery. Or it’s what incumbent presidents warm up like leftovers just before election year. High and plural, it’s what parents forever hold for children, and what’s forever being confounded, disappointed or dashed. Low and singular, it’s the guy next to Crosby in all those Road pictures. After the release of Into the Music and before his next release Common One in 1980, Morrison appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival with a fleshed-out band. He performed two of the songs from the album, "Troubadours" and "Angeliou". These two songs featured Morrison interacting with the brass section, composed of Pee Wee Ellis and Mark Isham. Erik Hage describes this musical relationship between Morrison and the two brass musicians as "simply stunning". [21] Morrison's 2006-released DVD, Live at Montreux 1980/1974, contained these performances of the two songs. Filename L:\Lossless Temp\Van Morrison\1968.

[20] In The Rolling Stone Album Guide (1983), Dave Marsh later said the second half's suite of nocturnal ballads was "the greatest side of music Morrison has created since Astral Weeks". [11] Morrison biographer Erik Hage called the record "a fully fleshed-out musical vision that often surrenders to rapturous moments of pure beauty".
