Donovan - Storyteller

Awesome mastering by Steve Hoffman!

I used to play and sing lots of Donovan at parties back in the day. He was one of my favourites back then. I still have a lot of his LPs but have not played any in a long time.........

Digging this album more with successive listens - I really like the track Third of May/Ōdaigahara.

She's done so much great music - may she continue for many more birthdays.

Amen!

I've been a fan since first hearing her "Bluebird Wine" on Armed Forces Network radio in Germany in 1975. Thank god the DJ told me who was singing. I went into Mannheim the next day and found Pieces of the Sky.

Cool account. 

My discovery of Emmylou is...I'll say from the outset that when it comes to playing guitar, I'm a hack. So, with that in mind, some pro I was shooting photos of his guitar collection for (a book) gave me a cassette of a guitar player named Albert Lee playing a tune called 'Country Boy' and kind of challenged me to learn how to play it; I just about managed a ham fisted version of the intro 
Years later I read an interview with Joe Walsh of The Eagles who basically said "Listen to Albert Lee as part of The Hot Band on Emmylou's 'Luxury Liner' album. So I did. Heh. After that, some girl who worked on reception at the local radio station bought me a birthday (or xmas?) gift of 'Blue Kentucky Girl' - and that was sweet listening.
