Ballad of Geraldine

[Adisthelad]

Who cares if it sounds similar to Dylan? Donovan is Scottish, and his songs are British folk, through and through. The message is what counts anyways, bring back these times, the world seems so lost now. Peace n Love

[OverYonderBlues]

So want some good tabs for this song. I had to make up my own :P

[fivethumbsfrank]

The guy with the cowboy hat on is Derroll Adams 'the banjo man' He was an enormous influence on Donovan.

nice video and nice song, but melody is a robbery of Dylan's "Girl of the North Country" and 'Boots of Spanish Leather".

[Snabbelkrab]

@fanchbrezoneg the picking pattern too. but maybe it wasnt Dylans either. maybe its a classic ballad style

[MrRyanillingworth]

this song sounds real similar to bob dylan spanish boots of spanish leather

[Snabbelkrab]

@MrRyanillingworth y and also to girl from the nothern country, strange. The picking pattern is also quite similar

[europainhollywood]

this must be from the film a boy called donovan, the girl blowing the candle out is his wife linda(brian jones' ex)

there is still music like this. you just have to know where to look. It's not quite as pretty, it has more anger, because what they were fighting for back then seemed so close, it was a happier time, and now we're just pissed.

[alia313]

so angry because it seemed so close for all. now it's our turn to find it.

[pfgnyc85]

bob dylan is the best of them all...

[alia313]

can someone explain the dylan/donovan thing to me?

[marcspaceman]

People is just confused, Dylan and Donovan seem to get the same style, guys who dont understand music think Donovan ripped off Dylan, I'm sure that people who said that haven't even listened to the whole collection of records from both artists, cheers.

[cretsina]

@pfgnyc85 tru dat

[trimel2]

Ah... Resurrect Donovan!!

Peace... Love ! No War

Pass the Joint please :)

[Voitground]

thank you for posting this-one of my favorite donovan songs-beloved for so many years. nice timeless video also. so much more than the main retro trash. a real feeling of the complecations of love- over the decades of "love and peace", and so on,.... or within-timeless.

[Jam00dle]

Peace... :)

Donovan is a great artist, his music is really beatiful. i remember my grandma cause´beacuse of her i got to know artists like Donovan, Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel. There´s no music like this anymore.

[yadamatrix]

That's funny because Bob Dylan, Donovan, and Simon and Garfunkel are my favorites too. Thank God for youtube or I wouldn't have discovered half the music I love today.

[hmsdonovan]

I need to find a clear copy of A Boy Called Donovan. I wish Donovan would release this on DVD..
