Down the Road - Van "the man" Morrison.
Another solid set from the Irish bard. I particularly like the songs "Hey Mr. DJ," "Choppin' Wood," and "Steal My Heart Away"(Which, ironically, is the title of one of the new songs on "Say You Will" by Fleetwood Mac - both are great songs, too).
Van releases so much stuff these days it's hard to keep up, but most of it is pretty high quality. His new release schedule is sort of like Neil Young's. It's weird how he tours Europe all of the time, then does 5 shows in America and calls it a major tour. I'm thinking of seeing him in Chicago. His 1994 live album, "A Night in San Francisco," is top-notch. John Lee Hooker guests on it, too. (During "Gloria")
