Donovan - Donovan's Greatest Hits Mp3

I realize belatedly that I have unjustifiably underrated this artist, to the point of not having listened to his records at all. In this, I think the most globally available Donovan record, there are some very strong cuts. Sunshine Superman and Season of the Witch are both justifiably classic: they are two of the most compelling folk-psychedelic compositions, as is Hurdy Gurdy Man, probably the trippiest of Donovan’s tunes. Wear Your Love Like Heaven and Colours are both simply lovely; Catch the Wind is impeccably crafted in its progression from melodic folk to uplifting soul; Mellow Yellow catchy and humorous, and the rest solid enough. Jennifer Jupiter is probably the one song I d rather had been left out of the collection.

An honest, talented and deserving compilation of one of the most unfairly underrated singers/songwriters of the sixties. 8/10.
