One of the sun city girl dudes recorded Donavan's incoherent ramblings at a club a few years ago and was talking about putting it out on a 7" but i dunno if it ever happened.

Creepy Donovan is the best Donovan. Covered by King Crimson too:

ROFL. We sang "Get Thy Bearings" in church if you can believe it! It is seriously funky with a spiritual theme. I play it all the time now.

He was inducted into the HoF last night by John Mellencamp. Struck me as pretty random, but apparently John's a massive Donovan fan.

Yeah, come on man.
BTW Donovan is so awesome on "Billion Dollar Babies." Kinda wish he and Alice had recorded a whole album.

Bass on "Get Thy Bearings" is one of Danny Thompson's finest moments. As is "Sunny Goodge St"

In fact he's a monumental egomaniac who claims to have invented and inspired every musical genre from 1965 onwards

HMS Donovan is a great album. I'd put it up there with the best of ISB.
I don't understand any comparison of the two Ds. It always comes up due to that movie but come on... Apples and oranges. Both have their merits and both have put some dreary shit on tape too.

agree that they're very different animals.
Dylan is the highly superior animal tho lol

SO good.
"Open Road" fans out there? Has a fun ramshackle live feel to it, which is super cool after all the fussy (but brilliant) Mickie Most stuff.Find that I go back to this one even more than the rest.
