“Musically, Donovan and [producer Mickie] Most made liberal use of multiple feels inspired by a wide range of styles, most remarkably the drone: a harmonic effect in which a note or chord is continuously repeated throughout a composition and commonly forms the tonality on which the piece is built. This brought an unusual and memorable quality to many tunes on the album, as did Donovan’s whimsical, spiritual-esque vocals. Then, too, both ‘The Hurdy Gurdy Man’ and its namesake album reflect a tougher rock sound than the singer’s earlier recordings.”
—Charles S. Granata
Our AAA HQ-180 33.3-rpm LP was mastered from Epic Records’ analog master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, plated and pressed at RTI for flat and silent surfaces and incredible detail. The 4-page insert features a new appreciation by producer, author, and historian Charles S. Granata that puts in context the positive effects of Donovan’s clever, innovative writing and performances.
