Description
Donovan ORIG OZ LP Fairytale EX Astor PLP1143 Psyche Folk Rock
Original OZ LP released in the 1960’s on Astor Records. Cat: PLP1143.Donovan's second album found the Scottish folkie in possession of his own voice, a style of earnest, occasionally mystical musings indebted neither to Woody Guthrie nor Bob Dylan. True, Fairytale's highlights "Sunny Goodge Street," "Jersey Thursday," and "The Summer Day Reflection Song" use a sense of impressionism pioneered by Dylan, but Donovan flipped Dylan's weariness on its head. His persona is the wistful hippie poet, continually moving on down the road, but never bitter about the past. The folkie "Colours," already a hit before the album's release, is also here (though without Donovan's harmonica). A few of his songs are inconsequential and tossed-off ("Oh Deed I Do," "Circus of Sour"), but a few of these ("Candy Man" especially) succeed too, thanks to Donovan's effervescent delivery.
