One of the pivotal songs in the shift from acoustic folk into the world of psychedelic rock. Written-By “Atlantis” reached #7 in the US but stalled at #23 in Britain.The first product of the highly successful collaboration with producer Mickie Most, this was Donovan’s biggest hit and is probably his best-known song.
*Kate Bush’s cover of Lord of the Reedy River with a tribute to Donovan in the runout groovesThere can’t be many people keen enough to sit through a lightweight 100-minute feature film simply to watch a two-minute performance of an obscure song. Another masterful John Cameron arrangement, “Writer in the Sun” features flute (Harold McNair, natch), woodwind, harpsichord and the esteemed Danny Thompson on concert bass. It was their loss, however, because is a thoroughly charming record with much to recommend it. Don couldn't ask for a finer tribute to his (even now) grossly under - estimated talents as singer, song - writer and musician. In 2019 a statue of Coltart was erected in his hometown of Galashiels.
There are numerous other such simplifications. Like so many Donovan songs from this period it has an unforgettable melody, too. Written-By Donovan lyrics Yeats (1865-1939) from his 1899 poetry collection this piece is especially remembered for its evocative final two lines: "The silver apples of the moon / The golden apples of the sun" which have been used many times elsewhere.
Written for Jenny Boyd, Pattie’s younger sister, who also travelled to India with Donovan and the Beatles. It combines elements of everything that made Donovan’s records so beguiling: psychedelic whimsy, eastern influences, otherworldly vocals and a killer guitar solo. Too clever for some, it seems, as in later years most sources (CD covers, Spotify etc) renamed it, simply, “New Year’s Resolution”.
Two years later Grace Slick’s band recorded their own version of “The Fat Angel” on the 1968 live album Body shaming was an alien concept in the 60s and, however well-meaning, I suspect “The Fat Angel” might have a different title if it were written today. Brian “Licorice” Locking, who played with the Shadows in 1961/62, contributes upright bass. It failed to chart but works just fine as an album track.Based around an A minor chord with a shifting bass line of A-G-F#-F-E, as found in a million other songs (some of them by Led Zeppelin) “Hampstead Incident” features a gorgeous harpsichord and string arrangement from the always reliable John Cameron. Apparently based on a true story about a girl who really did catch her hair in a ferris wheel.Was there ever a better chat-up line than “Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum”? It was all Mickie Most’s idea. So, whether you’re in voluntary self-isolation or total lockdown, what better way to occupy that enforced leisure time than to explore some of the most captivating and original pop music from the second half of the 1960s. Written-By In the early part of his career he recorded three Jansch covers and two self-penned tribute songs.
The rest of this 1969 rom com is dated and forgettable, but that short clip is worth the price of admission alone.
It reached #1 in the US in mid-1966 and #2 in Britain toward the end of the same year. Covered by Helen Reddy on her 1971 self-titled album. The single version featured harmonica, which is missing on the , this almost seven-minute song is basically a succession of 18 identical verses with no choruses, middle eight or bridge. I've been trying to get my hands on the 2-CD SUNSHINE SUPERMAN set for a few years, and am hoping to find one for under $100 some day! The tune of this Tolkienesque tale of heroes and trolls was recycled a year later for “Jabberwocky” on the “Majestic” is the only way to describe the closing track on the US album. Donovan Philips Leitch (born May 10, 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow), better known as simply Donovan, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician.
