Donovan: The Tinker And The Crab

[rumagoo82]

I dont think there is anything by him that bad. Every song has its place.

[playhe57]

My favorite Donovan album.

[OhSoSwingin60s]

this song is adorable <3

I saw donovan sing this live at i believe the Rainbow theatre about 1969 it was stunning a far better than this over produced version. what on earth is Harold Mcnaire trying to do on the flute! and what possesed Donovadn to over dub himself on a simple folk song? Its a great little song but this version does not do it justice.

@MrFoxhunter123456 I agree. I was born in '83, my mother used to play me a tape as a child which as far as I know was of Donovan singing various childrens songs. This was one of them. The version on my tape was much better, but the tape is now battered and bruised and the sound quality is awful. I digitised it some years ago but it was too late to save it. I would love to get a good version but I don't even know what it came from :( I could post it up if you're interested...

At 34, this album doesn't take me back but love it all the same! Enchanted Gypsy!

[jahtez]

I play this album every time I start feeling that I'm getting disconnected from my hippie days.

Brings me right back every time :)

[SweetSweetWaldo]

@jahtez Me too...I was a child. I grew up on this album!

[mobyboy]

[fluxfeld]

I used to sing tunes from this album to

my sons when they were babies,that

was before they could realize how out of tune thier dad sang....thanks for the

memory

[Ermengarde11]

@fluxfeld I sang a couple off this album for my eldest granddaughter years ago, and sometimes at gigs with my trio. So great to hear this stuff again!!

[niklespikles]

thanx, that is great,i still knew a lot of the words ,even after all these years!nx

[SungaiaCopesetic]

At the end I expect to hear him saying "Widow with a Shawl: A Portrait"...

[Ermengarde11]

@SungaiaCopesetic I can relate!! Gosh I miss this album but it was stolen years ago and it's hard to find. 

[SungaiaCopesetic]

I used t listen to my album, when I turned to "side 2" I would put a little past the baby crying. I would listen to the flute especially, such a soothing album.

[MicrophoneFarmer]

Such a lovely song. His voice is beautiful. As wonderful as the first disc is, the second is definitely my favourite. It's cool to listen to it again now, and find certain songs that my dad would play for me when I was little.

[lifereguard]

found it - there is a god !

[SubmarinerAndroid]

My favorite album ever, by anyone.

[Sarahfreckle]

Whoever wrote songs like this but Donovan. Love the flute (Harold McNair).

[kitl1967]

My husband by love of my life used to play this for me overandoverandoverandoverandov­er! I've been looking for this song forever!!!! Thanks!!!!!

[jamesdeca]

[campagnol1]

I will write a song of praise to you.

Thank you from London England.

[LSDCoatedBrain]

Haha, awesome, I look forward to it.
