T.B. Sheets T.B. Sheets "T.B. Sheets" is a blues-influenced song written and recorded by Northern Irish singer-lyricist Van Morrison, recorded for the Bang Records label in 1967 and included on his first solo album, "Blowin' Your Mind!". It later appeared on the Bang compilation, "T.B. Sheets". "T.B. Sheets" was recorded on 29 March 1967 at A & R Recording Studios In New York City with Bert Berns as producer. Morrison had intended to record it in one take, but there were two takes recorded that day. There is a long-standing, but perhaps apocryphal, story of Morrison's emotional state during the song's recording.
