Donovan - Open Road - 1970
My apologize to those of you that are getting tired
of psych folk rock, but I up loaded this one more as
an introduction to a relatively unknown style,
which I am in love with, known as Celtic Rock.
Now, already I know anyone who knows what
Celtic is, is probably tripping out over the thought
of a psych folk rock album and yes, it is
just as crazy as it sounds! Now all of this album
is really Celtic rock, but as the album goes on,
it gets more and more Celtic. Though, of course,
with Donovan, you know he can't stick to
just one style and he adds influences from
all over the place into his music.
It really adds a lot to this album
and all the influences evident really are
quite a nice delight, but if you like a song,
it's not really guaranteed that you'll like the next,
nor is the likewise guaranteed, but you should
at least give this album a chance and any fan
of Donovan will love it!
By the way,
the most Celtic song on here, and even I
got a kick out of this, is call Celtic Rock
and it is as crazy and amazing as Celtic rock gets!
It doesn't even matter what type of rock music
you're into, if you're into any then this one track
makes the whole album worth listening too
even if on the off chance you don't really like
any of the other songs. It truly does make the album!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Sorry, but I don't have it at the moment.
I tried looking for it for you,

best that I could find...

But, if I come across a better version of it
or if a copy lands in my hands,
I'll be sure to upload it man!

Excellent track list, thanks because that's exactly the music I like, specially Joe Bean's Theme and
People Used To because I can feel every word of the song inside of me.m10m
