６５年発表のアメリカ・デビュー盤だが、現在ではパイ・レーベルに残した１ｓｔと２ｎｄからの初期音源の編集盤という形で流通しているようだ。タイトル曲からも分かるようにほぽボブ・ディランと言って良いスタイルであるが、彼の方がメロディアスで聞き易い。ほぼアコースティック・ギターの弾き語りであり、ディラン同様にハーモニカも登場する。このシンプルなスタイルだけで十分に豊かな響きを持っており、タイトル曲や「カラーズ」は全英４位のヒットを記録している。パイ時代の彼の曲は後で見られる装飾の類いが全くない純粋なフォークだが、楽曲のレベルは全く遜色が無く、むしろシンプルな分だけ聞き易いと思う。もっとも曲調はパイ以降とはかなり異なったイメージであり、冒頭に書いたようにほぼボブ・ディランといった風情。酒場で一杯煽りながら聞くとハマリそうな曲も多い。

同一タイトルで幾多有りますが
【VICP-5378。22曲(61:35)

本作品名は[キャッチ･ザ･ウインド]となってはいますがそのオリジナル･アルバムとは違う日本編集盤です。
英国パイ･レーベルでのファースト･アルバムから７曲、セカンドから９曲、シングルから３曲、EPから３曲の選曲２２曲はこのあとエピック･ソニーに移籍するので編集はこれでとても良いと思います。
ドノヴァン･ハットを被りギターを持った良い写真なのだが裏焼きで残念です。
ビートルズの誰だかにギターを教えただけ有って良い音色です。
本作品での歌詞対訳にはとても助けられています。
今の世の中このような楽曲は聴く事が出来ないのでマケプレの提供は有難いです。

Donovan's Pre-Take-Off Checklist

2011年9月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Most of us know Donovan as the epitome of "flower power" and the iconic figure of "hippy". Donovan himself proclaimed he was a beatnik and indeed he had lived that lifestyle from the early age of 14 about the time he started playing guitar and travelling on the road in the UK. Donovan learned cross-picking guitar techniques, and then folk and blues styles as he became a street performer in '64. Because he had been studying and influenced by Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack (Elliott), it was eventual that his early tapings, songs like Catch The Wind and Josie, would be closely compared to Dylan who drew from the same canon of music. The medieval troubadour we have all come to love would not be invented for another year but in 1965 Donovan released What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid on two independent labels in the UK and in the USA. Later that same year Fairytale was released with more songs in the same Dylan-esque folk vein (mind you that is what critics compared him to, not all of us). CATCH THE WIND is not a compilation of these two albums nor is it a re-release of either of them, rather it is a 2003 import album CD containing the essential essence of both albums and including the album version and single version of the title track hit and the single release of Colours.

It was the press who unilaterally called Donovan a "Dylan Clone" and even Bob Dylan himself was curious enough to want to meet him. When Bob referenced Donovan in Talking World War Three Blues his fans who heard the song live set out with boos and hisses and jeers shocking Bob to say "I didn't mean to put the guy down in my songs. I just did it for a joke, that's all." [Melody Maker, 1965]

Donovan responded to the comparisons by saying "I knew where he got his stuff--it was Woodie at first, then it was Jack Kerouac and the stream-of-consciousness poetry which moved him along. But when I heard Blowing In The Wind it was the clarion call to the new generation - and we artists were encouraged to be as brave in writing our thoughts in music". [Donovan Remembers Dylan, 2001]

In reality, both gurus of our generation had completely different styles in their music for the most part. Yes the song Catch The Wind can be modestly compared to Dylan in vocal and lyrical arrangements, but one has to bear in mind that both artists were walking around with a copy of On The Road stuffed into their jeans back pocket and both artists were responding to same world in turmoil. Donovan was and is still the more technically proficient guitar player, a true finger-picker with a lot more diversity and dexterity than Dylan had. Bob held the edge in oblique lyrics whereas Donovan painted his songs in lilting grace. Within one year of his debut on vinyl, Donovan would depart the murky pathways of Zimmerman and would venture into psychedelic frontiers with pastel colors and rainbow splashes.

Songs like Colours, Sunny Goodge Street, and Donna Donna contained on this album could not possibly be compared with Dylan and were solid signs of the remarkable songwriting to come on SUNSHINE SUPERMAN and MELLOW YELLOW. Of course 1965 was the preeminent year of the protest song and this collection houses two incredible Donovan protest songs, Universal Soldier and The War Drags On which were as powerful in their day as Barry McGuire's Eve Of Destruction or anything Dylan served up. Catch The Wind is represented here, as I indicated before, in two forms. First is the raw folk guitar version with Donovan's singing right up front in your face, and no can hardly help but think of Dr Robert. The second, more popular version, is the single release which was mixed with more depth overall, a slightly echoed vocal track and strings surrounding Donovan's central delivery. This version is pure beauty. CATCH THE WIND is a mono (High Fidelity) CD, all the tracks are remastered from the original tapes and cleaned up wonderfully. Not a trace of tape hiss or other aberrations exist on this wonderful collection. Both songs Catch The Wind and Colours were re-recorded by Donovan in stereo for inclusion on his greatest hits album and some might remember hearing them in stereo and wonder at the mono release here. These songs on this album were decidedly released in "High Fidelity" originally, just like the first three Beatles albums (UK) which was a pretty way of saying Mono recording raised to a higher clarity (less muddy) than the previous standards.

A final thought for you to consider. Even though even the writer of the brief liner notes immediately compares Donovan to Dylan, I can only offer my modicum of reason here. I really hate comparing artists to other artists, even though I find myself doing it naturally sometimes, unless there is a direct attempt at copying/mimicking which was often true in this industry, even to this day. However, comparing Donovan Leitch to Robert Zimmerman and calling one the clone of the other is like saying that Bob Dylan was a male Joan Baez clone. After all, who propelled him into the mainstream music industry and who was creating the same art form before he arrived on the scene? Think about it. And buy this CD if you enjoy folk music that fell on the edge of the psychedelic 60's era. His next album was going to take off like the Jefferson Airplane! (Wink-Wink).

A great song writer and story teller, in his own right. A fine album, of his finest compositions.
