DONOVAN Whats Bin Did and Whats Bin Hid
LP 180g Vinyl
The Donovan most people are familiar with is the cosmic flower child who gave us such hits as Sunshine Superman and Mellow Yellow. But in 1965, Donovans music was in a much different stage of development. As heard on his first full-length album Whats Bin Did and Whats Bin Did, Donovans early sound was a very basic folk-revival approach heavily influenced by the likes of Woody Guthrie (whose Car Car is here), Ramblin Jack Elliott (who had became something of a cultfigure in the uk), and of course, Bob Dylan, to whom the young Donovan was compared ad nauseam by the british press. Straight-ahead folkie tunes such as Josie and Remember the Alamo rub shoulders with the jug-band blues Keep on Truckin and the downbeat, jazzy Cuttin out. The best-knownsong here is Catch the Wind, a romantic ballad that became one of Donovans early staples. While the youthful singer-songwriter sounds confident and impressive here, this was but the first chapter of a story that would take some interesting twists and turns over the course of the next few years.
