Loved Moondance and Into the Mystic. Never cared for Brown Eyed Girl or Wild Night is Calling, however I'm interested in listening to some similar material by other artist. Who would be a contemporary of his that I could check out?

Well first listen to Van's Astral Weeks if you haven't already
There's no one exactly like VM. For blues/folk influences, check out Ry Cooder. Also The Band. If you like that look into Doug Sahm. For British Folk try Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch and Pentangle, Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die.
For artsong-type stuff listen to Love's Forever Changes. And maybe The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society. Maybe the first Blood Sweat & Tears album, Child Is Father to The Man (w/Al Kooper) -- NOT the later hits w/Clayton-Thomas on vocals. Also The Notorious Byrd Brothers.
Of course you can always try Dylan: Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, The Basement Tapes w/The Band, among other things.
That's off the top of my head, maybe I'll think of some more later.

Might try John Martyn
His Couldn't Love You More (LP) is where he's closer sounding to a wooden/acoustic Morrison vibe. LINK
and the album "The Apprentice" is definitely more jazz flavored with polished voicing(s). LINK or live
My personal fav: May You Never (...which EC covered)... Although as said above he's not going to be the same vocally
ETA: Forgot this one: Cooltide

Further on with VM, his bluesy stuff is top notch.
There looks to be an American compilation which entails some of it, called TB Sheets:

"Too long in exile" is a great album. So is "Avalon sunset".
"These are the days" may be the best song I've ever heard.
Hope you enjoy!

Like someone said before first jump head first into Astral weeks. This I believe is ranked 16th or 17th on Rolling Stones top 500 albums of all time.
Have you ever listened to JJ Cale? he's the father of Tulsa blues/folk rock. He has his own style of lullabies.

Check out Van when he was with the band "Them."
