Review: A Renaissance Kind of Guy - Familiarity with Donovan's recordings is essential to understanding pop culture of the 60's, particularly the psychedelic/flower power/Summer of Love era. Donovan had a strong mystical, spiritual edge and a quality of educated refinement and erudition which not only fit right in but also gave the era some class. This collection is a very good summary of what Donovan had to offer. The versions of "Catch The Wind" and "Colors" on this CD are the original folk (acoustic) versions, as opposed to the rock-band versions found on the original LP of the greatest hits. Why this was done, I don't know, but it's OK with me, because that is how I first knew Donovan, and his evolution into a rock artist had a similar shock value, although lesser, to Bob Dylan's. The thing to remember is that both were folk artists first, and they brought that sensibility to rock music, thereby changing it. And change it they did! "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow" not only have fascinating lyrics and superb music, but the vocals - how cool can you get? I love "Epistle To Dippy" because of the mindbending humor and the tight, tight production - a most excellent track, one of my absolute favorites. "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" has colorful imagery, spiritual lyrics and magical music - it's practically a hymn. "Jennifer Juniper" is special to me because it has some French lyrics, and I was learning French at the time it was released. Also, the hot book at the time was "Valley of the Dolls", which had a main character named Jennifer. I always associated that song with her, and it took on added poignancy when Sharon Tate, who played Jennifer in the film, was murdered. "Hurdy Gurdy Man" is a musical and poetic explosion that really blew my mind when I first heard it. "Lalena" is a more personal piece, a somber song about a woman who leads a suffocating life. "Atlantis" has a beautiful spoken description of how that island might have been, and it ends with a rousing "Hey Jude"-style repeated sentence, and fades out. And "Barabajagal" - "Love is hot, Truth is molten..." The song is funky and boiling. What else can I say? If you want to explore Donovan more deeply, the "Sunshine Superman" album is a masterpiece, with my favorite tracks being "The Trip", "Guinevere" and "Celeste". Also, the "Mellow Yellow" album is almost as good, with "Sand and Foam", "Writer In the Sun" and "Sunny South Kensington" being standouts. Review: Riki Tiki Tavi - Great selection of Donovan's music. Takes me back to some good times. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes the music of Donovan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00000ICNY | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,366 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #2 in British Folk #21 in British Invasion Rock #49 in Classic Psychedelic Rock | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,459) | | Date First Available | March 30, 1999 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | SNY65730.2 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1999 | | Product Dimensions | 5.6 x 0.4 x 4.8 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Run time | 50 minutes | ## Images ![Donovan's Greatest Hits - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813J1z6zxiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Renaissance Kind of Guy *by S***A on March 10, 2008* Familiarity with Donovan's recordings is essential to understanding pop culture of the 60's, particularly the psychedelic/flower power/Summer of Love era.
