Donovan

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
As the composer of such hits as Catch the Wind, Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman, Season of the Witch, and Hurdy Gurdy Man, Scottish-born songwriter Donovan was one of the great troubadours of the 1960s. His music helped express and shape the turbulent renaissance of that era by fusing joy, compassion, introspection, and a marvelous gift for melody. Donovan remains a very thoughtful, articulate man, as you can hear when he joins host David Garland for an extensive interview. Donovan's latest album is called "Beat Cafe," and he's become an advocate of artists coming together outside the mainstream to break new artistic and cultural ground, in the tradition of the Beats and Bohemians. This show will include Donovan's old and new recordings, plus some unique in-studio performances of his songs.
