I have other photos.

It's not a big deal.

I don't think so.

He just put this out recently: The Rod Stewart Sessions. OR maybe we should say the record company put this out recently. There are some good tracks on there, but it looks better than it is. The take of Maggie May on the first disc for example, is just him making up words over the backing track. I was pretty excited when I saw that, thinking it would be some sort of jam of the song or something, but it is not. The version of You're In My Heart [The Final Acclaim] [Acoustic Version]is cool though, as it does not have that annoying violin in the background.

I am a bit curious about that whole deal - as it bugs me. After watching it - I guess he was messing around. To me, it's not automatically a bad thing to be called a Redneck. I guess it depends on where you are from, and what you grew up with. I think Wilson has talent, but unfortunately, she is stuck singing junk songs. But, I guess that pays the bills at the end of the day. And - It is her choice. I think the Redneck deal is just part of her show, and a way she connects with her fans.

Sutras This is the film that Mountain Bed was talking about. I would like to see it myself: Sunshine Superman - The Journey Of Donovan

I just looked up some of those albums at Amazon. It looks like the re-masters are still in print, and actually don't cost all that much. Ferris Wheel

I've always thought it was Jeff Beck and company on Hurdy Gurdy Man. I don't think I heard about it being someone else until I read the liner notes in the re-release of the Greatest Hits cd. It does not sound like John Bonham on drums to me.

You can click on the song you want to know about in this section (Category: Donovan songs) and it will take you to the album page.

There are others - such as "Handsome Johnny" - which he wrote with Louis Gossett, Jr. But, you are right, he is mainly known for covering other peoples songs. But, that is a whole other thread.

There are also some other songs they did that are on one of the UK re-masters of the album. I'd like to see that film also.

Catch The Wind (Original version) (This one is always for the lady.) I recall seeing this on HBO's Video Jukebox: Atlantis (Beat Club)

Donovan's Greatest Hits There are various configurations of the album. Also - there are several other compilations/hits cds. I have this one: Early Treasures

The Fat Angel Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)

I think that is a great song. The performance in that video is different from the studio take of the song. Of course, it also gave rise to Mountain Jam. There Is A Mountain (studio version - Donovan). Mountain Jam (from Live At Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers Band)

He has made a lot of albums. More than I knew about. Has anyone read his book - The Hurdy Gurdy Man?

Steve Roby (website) Steve Roby (video lecture) I should say it's not a book for a causal fan - what he does is go through all the sessions/tapes that Hendrix was involved in, and talks about their availability (officially and/or bootlegs). It is very detailed. He was the editor and publisher of the fanzine Straight Ahead. Speaking of that, there is also the Univibes website. I have a couple of old Hendrix themed guitar magazines from the 1980s that have some nice photos and articles, including some nice close-ups of some of his guitars.

I edited the post. I have heard of Woodstock Yule before, it must be mentioned in the Shelton book.

I may grab this show myself. I like a lot of those songs. The show is up at bt.etree.org.

I just noticed this was posted at the official site in August: The family has buying bootlegs, and putting them out for a while now. I have never messed with any of those cds though. I just read a bunch of Hendrix books that I have never read before - and I have to say that Black Gold: The Lost Archives of Jimi Hendrix by Steven Roby is a great book - I learned a lot of stuff I did not know.

I found this by way of a post on Expecting Rain: DYLAN - the missing Christmas album
