Donovan - What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid OR Catch the Wind

Donovan's album debut presented his breakout British single "Catch the Wind" and added an assortment of pleasant folkie jams. Though he was often derided at the time as a pale imitation of Bob Dylan, there isn't a lot of evidence here; true, he does cover a Woody Guthrie song ("Car Car Riding in My Car") and gives it some twang worthy of the master, but his style is his own, slanted toward the mysticism of British folk less than the earthiness of its American cousin. Donovan summons the proper age-old weariness for "Goldwatch Blues," gets a bit bluesy for "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond," and lets it all hang out for "Keep on Truckin'."

HMS Donovan (1971)



Donovan married his longtime affection Linda Lawrence (once girlfriend of Brian Jones) in October 1970. When Linda became pregnant with their first child, he began working to complete a children's album that would eventually contain recordings spanning from July 1968 to 1971. Paul McCartney was present for some of the 1968 recordings ("Mr. Wind", "The Walrus and the Carpenter", "The Unicorn"), and there are bootleg recordings where Donovan plays these songs with Paul present [....] For the majority of the songs on this album, Donovan set to original melodies classic poems for and about children. Many of the poems were from One Hundred Poems for Children compiled by Herbert Strang (Clarendon Press, Oxford – 1925). Other poems come from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid (1965)



What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid is the debut album from Donovan and was released in the United States as Catch the Wind on Hickory Records in June 1965. Hickory Records changed the title to match that of Donovan's debut single.
The music primarily consists of Donovan singing and playing mouth harp and acoustic guitar, much like his live performances of the time. He still had some vestiges of Woody Guthrie's style, and covers Guthrie's "Riding in My Car (Car Song)" here (retitled "Car Car"). What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid also includes British folk ("Tangerine Puppet") and even some jazz ("Cuttin' Out").
Donovan rerecorded "Catch the Wind" for the album, which was initially released as his debut single in the United Kingdom on 12 March 1965. (wikipedia)

The Donovan Concert: Live In L.A.

DVD Audio Rip | Folk/Rock | MP3 320 Kbps | 166 Mb | 2007
Covers included


When he took the stage at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre in January 2007, Donovan looked considerably older than his familiar public image. It’s understandable, of course. Nearly 40 years have passed since he last stood at the pinnacle of pop music. For a time, though — specifically between his appearance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, the same event at which Bob Dylan went electric, and the issuance of his 1969 endeavor Barabajagal — it seemed as if he could do no wrong. Not only did he achieve wide-sweeping commercial success by scoring a number of Top 20 albums and singles, but he also traveled to India with The Beatles, Mia Farrow, and The Beach Boys’ Mike Love and recorded with Cream’s Jack Bruce, the Jeff Beck Group, and future Led Zeppelin members John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page. As the Vietnam War raged and the presiding mood of Western society became darker, angrier, and more pragmatic, however, Donovan struggled to retain an audience for his utopian ideas. After his independently released effort Lady of the Stars fell upon deaf ears in 1984, he momentarily slipped into retirement.

On several occasions during the past decade, Donovan has attempted to mount a comeback of sorts, and, truth be told, the world needs to hear his voice now more than ever. Yet, despite having crafted two sterling efforts — the hypnotic Sutras and the heady Beat Café — he remains underappreciated and ignored by all but his biggest fans. In this regard, his latest effort The Donovan Concert: Live in L.A., which features his performance at the Kodak Theatre, is meant both to increase his profile in anticipation of a new album and to raise awareness of the work of the David Lynch Foundation, an organization that strives to teach Transcendental Meditation techniques as a means of achieving world peace.

With a gleam in his eye and bearing the impish look of an all-knowing mystical prophet, Donovan launched into a reggae-tinged rendition of There Is a Mountain. As the show progressed, the years that had passed since his heyday slowly began to fade away. With the exception of his daughter Astrella Celeste’s Dream and his own The Illusion, which he described as a work-in-progress, Donovan wound his way through a set list that surprisingly was composed entirely of material that he wrote in the 1960s. Although he avoided performing songs from Beat Café, he nonetheless echoed its overriding theme by weaving his music together with tales that highlighted how he came to adopt his Bohemian lifestyle.

Backed by upright bass player Tom Mansi and percussionist Stewart Lawrence, Donovan fully immersed himself in his folk-oriented roots. Carried by the gentle flow of his acoustic guitar and harmonica accompaniments, Catch the Wind was suitably tranquil and lovely, while Colours blossomed in a bluegrass-tinged arrangement that simultaneously begged to be adorned with fiddle and mandolin. Some of his psychedelic excursions, such as Sunshine Superman, didn’t translate completely into the stripped-down settings that he evoked, but more often than not, he and his supporting cast overcame the obstacles with their enthusiasm. Season of the Witch, for example, was fitted with a rolling, Afro-Cuban beat, while Hurdy Gurdy Man regained the lost verse that had been penned by George Harrison. Over the course of the evening, Donovan provided the assembled crowd with an engaging, retrospective stroll through all of his best-known tunes, and The Donovan Concert: Live in L.A. dutifully recreates the magic in all its paisley-hued glory.
