Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: Donovan

I had forgotten how good these old songs from Donovan Leitch's  initial folk phase sound, before he went 'psychedelic.'   Catch the Wind.  Colors.    Some have noticed a similarity between Catch the Wind and Dylan's Chimes of Freedom  (1964) which antedated it.  I just now discovered this version of Chimes which is the best I've heard.  It's a duet with a gal named Joan.  But is it Baez or Osbourne?  And that does sound like Al Kooper on organ.
