With my next pick, I would like to select another personal favourite of mine, Van Morrison's Moondance, in the category of Folk/Country western/World. The album is classified as Country rock/RnB by Wikipedia, and I have always seen him personally as a folksy kinda singer, but if people take issue with him in this category, I will change it.
Anyways,
Moondance album info and track listing

Moondance is the third solo album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1970 (see 1970 in music). The style blends R & B, country rock, and even jazz (most obviously on the title track). Moondance peaked at #29 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. The singles released were "Come Running", which peaked at #39 on the Pop Singles chart and "Moondance", peaking at #92 in 1977. Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time ranked it at #65 in 2003. It has often appeared on many other lists of best albums of all times.

Into the Mystic:
That's the only one I can find on Youtube. It's quite hard to find youtube goodies from this album, it seems all there is is people doing covers of his songs. There's nothing really on his official website either. But trust that it's good, good music.
Anyways, my favourites from this album are Crazy Love, Into the Mystic, and And it Stoned me.
I love Van Morrison, he's right up there with Heart in terms of my personal favourites that I could listen to all darn day and I am glad to have this album on my album roster!
