5 Facts About How Veedon Fleece Was Recorded

The album came together one night at a time, a few songs at a time. Drummer Dahaud Shaar described the sessions as very informal.

Bassist David Hayes recalled Morrison arriving each night for about a week. He would bring two or three new tunes each time.

The recording process was gradual and unstructured. Songs were added piece by piece rather than all at once.

The informal approach shaped the album’s spontaneous feel. It was not a tightly planned or rehearsed project.

The sessions relied on nightly creative bursts. Morrison’s nightly contributions drove the album’s direction.
