Try For The Sun: The Journey Of Donovan

Donovan Leitch s instantly recognizable vibrato may not appear until track six, but the casual "Hurdy Gurdy Man" fan has no business picking up this four-disc/sixty-song collection of the Scottish troubadour's four decades of whimsical pop confections and beatnik balladry. Sony s Try for the Sun: The Journey of Donovan includes a previously unreleased documentary from 1970, a lovely book that chronicles the singer/songwriter s storied career, complete with quotes of praise from current hipster bards like Devendra Banhart and the Polyphonic Spree s Tim DeLaughter and 15 B-side, rare demos and live recordings, all housed in the finest faux-purple velvet box one could imagine. While there are some suspicious omissions ("Roots of Oak," "Age of Treason," "Cosmic Wheels" , there's enough here to satiate even the most rabid Donovan fan for weeks. Those interested in a less time consuming biographical experience would do well with 1992's slightly superior -- and infinitely more cohesive -- Troubadour ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
