DONOVAN

 An icon of flower power who emerged as a folksinger but later gained hits like "Sunshine Superman" 

with bright psychedelic pop. Upon his emergence during the mid-'60s, Donovan was anointed 

"Britain's answer to Bob Dylan," a facile but largely unfounded comparison which compromised 

the Scottish folk-pop troubadour's own unique vision. Where the thrust of Dylan's music remains 

its bleak introspection and bitter realism, Donovan fully embraced the wide-eyed optimism of the 

flower power movement, his ethereal, ornate songs radiating a mystical beauty and childlike wonder; 

for better or worse, his recordings remain quintessential artifacts of the psychedelic era, 

capturing the peace and love idealism of their time to perfection

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

Donovan's album debut, What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid, 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'."...(AllMusic)
