As reviewer David Fricke from Rolling Stone once wrote, “More than just an album title, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart is an evocative, breathtaking description of the humble act of prayer.” Not only is Van Morrison’s 1983 album full of jubilant Celtic spiritualism, but also gives the listener a feeling of depth and space with its impressive instrumentation. Each track on the album is an original and while not playing every instrument, Morrison does add an impressive guitar, piano, and saxophone to the sessions.
Despite the fact this release was without a hit single, the album’s first track, Higher Than the World remains one of many great songs. Here, Morrison's fiery vocal delivery is perfectly complemented over easy-flowing keyboards. All-in-all, the whole album is highly recommended.
