About this product

Product Information

Donovan's autobiography charts his life from a post-war, Glaswegian childhood to the height of an international career as one of the leading figures of the 1960's music scene. Always feeling like an outsider he found relief through music and poetry. The book reveals how he came to be influenced by Buddhist teachings and the music of Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez. The book explores the significance of falling deeply in love with the women who was to become his muse, and the profound sense of loss he felt when their relationship came to an end, and how the loss affected him both personally and creatively. A leader of the folk revival in both Britain and America, the book recounts how he rose to be an international star, releasing songs such as Mellow Yellow and Catch the Wind, and his most successful album, Sunshine Superman. Donovan is acknowledged as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 1960's. The book provides a frank account of his early experiments with drugs and his search for self. He reveals the story of how he developed friendships with Baez, Dylan and the Beatles, with whom he a shared spiritual sojourn to meditate with the Maharishi in India. Donovan's autobiography offers first-hand insights into his music and poetry, recollects his rise to fame and the way in which destiny was to play a hand by re-uniting him with the lost love of his life through a chance meeting.

    Amazing stories of the life of The Hurdy Gurdy Man

    Loved this book .😊❤️Well written. A fascinating story of one of the main singer songwriters of the 60s . He humbley writes about his association and influences with and on Dylan and the Beatles. His anecdotes of being on the road with Gypsy Dave in the early 60s are priceless.

    DONOVAN SHOULD STICK TO SINGING

    I wasn't impressed with this autobiography, it didn't keep me wanting to see what happened next in Donovan's life which is what a good biography does in my opinion. I do love Donovan's songs but I think he should stick to singing instead of writing.
