The Donovan Thread


Recommended Posts

I guess I said this on the other thread, but I got to see Donovan in the early 70s. I like his Hickory label stuff particularly, when he was trying hard to sound like Dylan. I also like from his relatively late period an album called Open Road. This is long out of print I think, but well worth trying to find at your local used record store.

Open Road is it, I'm telling you all.

Open Road was a band project that was similar to David Bowie doing Tin Machine (or Rodney Crowell's the Cicadas); it yielded some really good songs. I have not listened to it in years, but it was a fave during college. I have a sort of beat up vinyl copy.

This is the film that Mountain Bed was talking about. I would like to see it myself:

 

Sunshine Superman - The Journey Of Donovan

My old lady got me this DVD for Xmas, and it's just a brilliant documentary. Lots of personal recollections from Don himself, and a lot of tantalizing footage. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan.
