Music reviews of Donovan's Greatest Hits

Music Review: QUITE RIGHT, SLICK.....
Rating: 5 Stars

In the early to mid sixties, Donovan was considered by many to be the UK's answer to Bob Dylan. While I think Bob Dylan has always been lightyears beyond Donovan in every aspect, I do enjoy alot of this guys stuff... although I don't even see him so much as a folk rocker, as alot of his stuff is very pop oriented. But always catchy, lighthearted fun. This album is one I've owned for a long time on record and have always enjoyed throughout. The CD version is expanded, and includes a handful of tracks that weren't on the vinyl, like the trippy BARANJAGAL (is that how its spelled?) and the rocking ATLANTIS.
Gotta dig the tunes WEAR YOUR LOVE LIKE HEAVEN, the ultra trippy tune HURDY GURDY MAN, or the eccentric MELLOW YELLOW; and of course one of my all time favorites SEASON OF THE WITCH.

One thing that should be noted though is the different version of COLOURS. This song was recorded originally as a more folk sounding song in the early sixties, but the version on the vinyl Greatest Hits was a re-recorded version from around 65-66, which I think was better than the original, because of some cool voice effects, and was always one of my favorites. For some reason the CD has the original folk version instead of the one thats on the Greatest Hits record (?)... which makes no sense, but the version here is still good, and a little more Dylan-esque, so I won't complain too much. Every song here is still a nice slice of sixties Donovan. It's his most accesible stuff also (did I spell THAT right?) where theres a slew of albums from him in the sixties and his stuff ranges anywhere from great, to strange, to stomach churningly sappy, this collection has a dozen plus tracks that are all pleasing and were all welcome on my stereo--- so go ahead Slick and give it a whirly whirl!

-For the record I don't usually say things like "Give it a Whirly whirl", but it seemed appropriate for this review, so, there you have it! I'll see ya.

Description of Donovan's Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits is the budget option for those who've concluded that two discs of Donovan is a disc too many and zero is one too few. Troubadour, Sony's 1992 Donovan box set, boasts nearly three times the tracks this 15-song single-disc retrospective offers, but Greatest Hits delivers what it promises: "Colours" and "Catch the Wind" from his folkie phase and "Mellow Yellow," "Sunshine Superman," and "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" from the lad's best-pal-a-flower-ever-had period. Also included are plenty more catchy folk-rock hits cut between 1964 and 1970 as well as four bonus tracks, including the delightfully earnest "Atlantis" and "Barabajagal," with the celebrated first-edition Jeff Beck Group providing backing. Donovan's blissed-out liner notes ("Whatever you think this song is about, it probably is") round out the package quite quaintly. --Steven Stolder
