Donovan
Catch the Wind
Album · Traditional Folk · 1965 · Sanctuary Records
This collection of tunes taken from Donovan's first two U.K. albums, What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid and Fairytale, provides a fascinating glimpse of an artist in transition. On acoustic ballads like "Colours" and "Catch the Wind," Donovan is the innocent-voiced Scottish folkie blending an early Dylan influence with winningly melodic pop chops. Meanwhile, head-turners like the atmospheric, orchestrated "Sunny Goodge Street" and the moody, poetic "Jersey Thursday" offer early hints of the folk-pop visionary Donovan was already on his way to becoming.
