Lots of melodic highlights here and The Wee Man sounds as if he was enjoying the recording with some of his lightest vocals for ages.
The antithesis of some his earlier, more lyrically obscure albums (e.g. Common One), Down the Road gets to the point quickly on most songs and then repeats it again... and again... . It's a clever trick if you can get away with it and Morrison does here in most cases.
Reminiscent of early Donovan on some of the melodies but always kept on an elevated plane by His Master's Voice.
Enjoy... again... and again!
