I have liked Donovan for a while. I wasn't a huge-normous fan, but I liked his stuff. I had a couple of albums including the Greatest Hits, but didn't collect everything. I really enjoyed when other people covered him. Kate Bush, who I do collect meticulously, had her rare cover of him. So that was my first pick. Brix E. Smith, who I also collect, has a great cover. And lo and behold Butthole Surfers have a great cover of the same song. So I had to allow for doubles. There are a few. But the Dickies isn't one of them. I've seen them live many times. Never once did I see them play this song. Too bad. At least I got to hear my other favorites. Only one song is not really a cover. You'll figure it out. I hope you enjoy these all. The cover caricature of Donovan was not done by me. Can't tell you who. Don't know. But I liked it.
