Product description

Released in 1977, Donovan's self-titled album is a captivating blend of folk rock and psychedelic rock, showcasing the Scottish singer-songwriter's enduring talent and versatility. Recorded at the iconic Chateau Du Regard in Oise, France, this album is a testament to Donovan's ability to craft timeless, introspective songs that resonate with listeners.

The album opens with "Local Boy Chops Wood," a whimsical track that sets the stage for the eclectic journey ahead. "Astral Angel" and "The Light" follow, offering a mix of Donovan's signature folk sensibilities and psychedelic experimentation. "Dare To Be Different" and "Brave New World" continue the theme of personal growth and self-discovery, while "Lady Of The Stars" and "International Man" highlight Donovan's knack for storytelling and social commentary.

The album's second half kicks off with "Sing My Song," a heartfelt ballad that showcases Donovan's vocal prowess. "Maya's Dance" and "Kalifornia Kiddies" close out the album on a high note, with the latter offering a playful, upbeat conclusion to the record.

Notably, the track order differs between the US and UK releases, adding an element of intrigue for collectors and fans alike. Produced by the legendary Mickie Most, this album is a essential addition to any fan of Donovan's work or enthusiast of the folk rock and psychedelic genres.

This LP was released in 1978.

The production and mastering by Ted Jensen at Sterling are top-notch. The opening track on side 1 is alright, but the rest falls short, and there are some pretty cringe-worthy lyrics throughout.

The album's production and mastering by Ted Jensen at Sterling are top-notch. The opening track on side 1 is alright, but the rest falls short, with some truly cringe-worthy lyrics to endure.
