INTO THE MUSIC
Into the Music is the 11th studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in August 1979 and titled after Ritchie Yorke’s 1975 biography of the same name on Morrison; the book had been titled in reference to his song “Into the Mystic” (1970). The record received widespread acclaim in 1979 and was named by critics as one of the year’s best albums. (More from Wikipedia)
The Wikipedia article on Slow Train Coming also states (with no footnotes), in apparent violation of their NPOV (neutral point of view) policy: “In a year when Van Morrison and Patti Smith released their own spiritual works in Into the Music and Wave, respectively, [Bob] Dylan’s album seemed vitriolic and bitter in comparison.” Neither album is particularly Christian, from what I can tell.
