Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of the hurdy gurdy, a whimsical instrument that perfectly captures the essence of the 1960s folk revival scene. And who better to showcase its magic than the legendary Donovan, known for his poetic lyrics and psychedelic melodies.

"Hurdy Gurdy Songs - Words & Music By Donovan 1965-1971" is a delightful collection of some of Donovan's most enchanting tunes, all featuring the haunting drone of the hurdy gurdy. From the shimmering "Jennifer Juniper" to the dreamy "Mellow Yellow," each track is a journey through Donovan's whimsical world.

The album effortlessly blends traditional folk elements with Donovan's signature psychedelic twist, creating a tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. With his ethereal voice floating over the steady hum of the hurdy gurdy, Donovan weaves tales of love, nature, and introspection.

Standout tracks include the mystical "Season of the Witch" and the introspective "Sunshine Superman," showcasing Donovan's unique ability to transport listeners to another time and place. It's a trip worth taking, particularly for fans of 60s folk music and experimental instrumentation.

So gather round, dear readers, and let Donovan's hurdy gurdy songs whisk you away on a magical musical journey. It's a retro ride you won't want to miss!
