The Hurdy Gurdy Man
''The Hurdy Gurdy Man'' is the sixth studio album (seventh overall) by Scottish singer/songwriter Donovan, released in the US in October 1968 (Epic Records BN 26420 (stereo)), but not in the UK, because of a continuing contractual dispute that also prevented ''Sunshine Superman'' and ''Mellow Yellow'' from a UK release. A songbook of lead sheets to the album was nonetheless issued in both countries.
==History==
Donovan wrote and recorded much of ''The Hurdy Gurdy Man'' in late 1967 not long after recording the songs that would form ''A Gift from a Flower to a Garden''. The rest of ''The Hurdy Gurdy Man'' was recorded in April 1968, after he visited Rishikesh, India to study under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; John Lennon, Cynthia Lennon, George Harrison, Pattie Boyd, Paul McCartney, Jane Asher, Mia Farrow, Prudence Farrow, and Mike Love were there as well. Donovan has since said in concerts that Harrison wrote a verse for "Hurdy Gurdy Man" when they were in India, but it wasn't recorded for the studio version. On his 1973 live album ''Live in Japan: Spring Tour 1973'' and his 1990 live album ''Rising'', Donovan explains the story and sings the previously omitted verse. The last verse of "Hurdy Gurdy Man" written by George Harrison is: "When the truth gets buried deep, beneath a thousand years of sleep, time demands a turn around, and once again the truth is found".
Donovan's songwriting for ''The Hurdy Gurdy Man'' centered around drones on such songs as "Peregrine", "The River Song" and "Tangier" (the latter two being compositions by his good friend Gypsy Dave AKA Gyp Mills), and pop music on most of the other tracks. "As I Recall It" continues Donovan's infatuation with jazz. "Jennifer Juniper" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man" were both released as singles well before the album was released.
The recording sessions for the album are purported to have included future Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Page was in The Yardbirds at the time and was actively looking to rebuild that band.〔Donovan's Greatest Hits〕 The album credits John Bonham for percussion on the song and Clem Cattini as the drummer.
