"Catch the Wind" is a song written and recorded by British singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on March 12, 1965 through Pye Records (Pye 7N 15801) and a few months later in the United States through Hickory Records (Hickory 45-1309). The single was backed with "Why Do You Treat Me Like You Do?" on both the United Kingdom and United States releases. The melody of the song was influenced by "Chimes of Freedom" by Bob Dylan. "Catch the Wind" was the first release by Donovan. It reached No.4 in the United Kingdom singles chart and No.23 in the United States ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔Daffyd Rees and Luke Crampton, Rock Stars Encyclopedia (New York: DK Publishing, Inc., 1999), 309.〕 The single version featured Donovan's vocals with echo and a string section. The song was re-recorded for Donovan's first album ''What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid'', without the vocal echo and strings and with a harmonica solo added. When Epic Records was compiling ''Donovan's Greatest Hits'' in 1968, the label was either unable or unwilling to secure the rights to the original recordings of "Catch the Wind" and Donovan's follow-up single, "Colours". Donovan re-recorded both songs for the album, with a full backing band including Big Jim Sullivan playing guitar and Mickie Most producing. == Cover versions == *Johnny Rivers (1965) *Paul Revere & the Raiders covered the song in their 1966 studio album ''Just Like Us!''. *The Blues Project (1966) on album, ''Live at The Cafe Au Go Go'' *Cher (1966) *Siluete (1966) *The Castiles (1967) *Glen Campbell (1967) *Claudine Longet (1968) *Dottie West (1968) *Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs (1968) *Peter Fonda (1968) on the Chisa label, as the B-side to his version of Gram Parsons' "November Night" *The Lettermen (1970) *Timothy Barclay (1970) *We Five (1970) on the album ''Catch the Wind''.
