    I most definitely do! I love the man AND his music. I even have a Donovan tattoo on my arm. :)

    I was just listening to the Hurdy Gurdy Man album the other day. I can't say that I've checked out his entire collection, but everything I've heard to date has been very satisfactory. If you like the title track from the Hurdy Gurdy Man album, you should check out the Butthole Surfer's cover version.. very strange and trippy indeed.

    I remember picking up a copy of Open Road on LP at a flea market a few years back and falling in love with it.

    I have the Sunshine Superman album, as well as most of the singles he's put out. I love him! I love how he's both incredibly trippy and incredibly mellow and folky at the same time.

    Just bought the Hurdy Gurdy album the other day. :) It's lovely.


    Has anyone heard the song "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper? Donovan does backing vocals on it....he sounds good, but he is the most unlikely person to be backing Alice Cooper on a hard rock song....lol

    I LOVE Donovan. 11 years ago he played live here, in Barcelona, in a small club. I was sitting at the 3rd or 4th row. When he started singing "Universal Soldier", he looked at me, and when he saw I was singing the lyrics, he said to me "Yes!". [​IMG]

    That's such a beautiful album. I've been putting that on for my daughter of 4 and half years. She likes that Happy I 'yam song.
