Catch the Wind

This collection of tunes taken from Donovan's first two U.K. albums, <i>What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid</i> and <i>Fairytale</i>, provides a fascinating glimpse of an artist in transition. On acoustic ballads like "Colours" and "Catch the Wind", Donovan is the innocent-voiced Scottish folkie blending an early Dylan influence with winningly melodic pop chops. Meanwhile, head-turners like the atmospheric, orchestrated "Sunny Goodge Street" and the moody, poetic "Jersey Thursday" offer early hints of the folk-pop visionary Donovan was already on his way to becoming.
