Glad that you posted this! Actually Donovan re-recorded this for two reasons--first, Hickory Records would not give him the original version for the Epic greatest hits album, and he wanted to "update" the song from the Dylan imitiation that dominates the original. LOVE IT. (Sadly, when Epic rereleased the album, they dropped this for the inferior original.)

@7thgeorgiegirl I also have an autistic daughter (12 years old now) = made me cry..but in a good way. Thankyou!!

Having only ever heard the other version of this song, I wondered how there could be a "Mellow Version". The other one is hardly speed metal. This really is a different song entirely. I may not prefer this take, but it's pretty damn good nonetheless.

I dedicate this beautiful song to my autistic daughter I love you !

I really cant believe there would be anyone who would dislike a Donovan song, especially this one.

Thanks for the info on Bonham. Damn if the drum track doesn't sound like Bonham though. It has that that heavy sound that's so indicative of him. Oh well. It sound marvelous regardless of who was playing the skins.

@jaleach123 Bonham has never played on a Donovan session. In fact, he plyed on relatively few recording sessions until the first Led Zeppelin album. Donovan's fanciful memory credited him as playing on some of his recordings, but this was later proven incorrect...

Been looking for this version for awhile. Isn't that John Bonham on the drums? Whether it is or not, the drum track is so much better on this version.
