Thread Name: Anybody doing Donovan these days?
Subject: RE: Anybody doing Donovan these days?
When people are over to play music, and we run out of ideas, Sunshine Superman and The Fat Angel are always well received--simple, but effective--As an early 70's style "acoustic performer", I found that his tunes nearly always went over well, whereas, you had to be very careful about using a lot of Dylan's stuff, and often couldn't use the Woody stuff at all--

And "Catch the Wind" and "Try for the Sun" got across that "wistful, footloose, poetic" image that we desperately cultivated back in those days---all in all, great stuff!
