Donovan - Season of the Witch
With apparently only 2 chords, Season of the Witch [1966] is my favourite song by Donovan. It’s also deceptively groovy and addictive…
I own this album on vinyl. I’m not sure where I got it from…I think it was one of my parents… I preferred Donovan’s music more after he got over his folk music stage, when he got all hippy dippy. He was a welcome alternative in a folk sense, to Dylan…but he’s always been held up as a Dylan clone. Fuck the media.
Donovan was quite influential in a behind the scenes kind of way: He was teaching both John Lennon and Paul McCartney his finger picking guitar style in 1968.
This is a song I used to sing regularly on stage and in the street…
