Today’s Music: Donovan “Catch the Wind”

Donovan (b. Donovan Leitch), the Scottish folk musician who was once called ‘Britain’s answer to Bob Dylan’ never had quite the impact of The Man from Hibbing, but he was a good singer, guitar player and songwriter. For a time there in the ‘60s after “Catch the Wind” came out, any assemblage of talented stoners with acoustic guitars first showed off their chops by playing things like “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” but there was always at least one finger-picker in the crowd who’d launch into this tune. To see what Donovan’s up to these days, go here.
