Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

2005 Digitally re-mastered re-issue features six bonus tracks 'Poor Cow', 'Lalena', 'Aye My Love', 'What a Beautiful Creature You Are' 'Colours' and 'Catch the Wind'. The album forshadows the coming discontent which eventually drove Donovan out of the music business. The title song, 'Hurdy Gurdy Man,' combines what are upbeat lyrics with a very dark performance. This ambivalence continues in a set of songs with a very bitter edge like 'Teas', 'Tangier', and 'Hi It's Been a Long Time', 'Yet 'Jennifer Juniper' & 'Peregrine', among others, stand in stark contrast. EMI. 2005.
