As this was posted in the 1960's thread, it's time to create a 1970's thread to accommodate it.

This is my favorite song by the group Edward Bear. Lead singer Larry Evoy wrote it about his grandmother, still back in the old country, who he'd hoped to meet but then received the news that she had passed away before he could.

Donovan was one of those musical chameleons who managed to reinvent himself a number of times, but by the 1970's he'd pretty much exhausted himself...until he came out with this, which harkened back to an album of children's songs, Donovan: For Little Ones (1967). This cut is more a musical vignette than a song, but it's (to me) a stunning adaptation of Lewis Carroll's words. From HMS Donovan (1971).

I thought of the following childlike - but not childish - 1970 Donovan tune with your revealing post, I Love Melvin: Interestingly, rather than raga as would've been apropos, it's said to have been set to a reggae beat instead. |

I remember some calling the addition of a horn section for the sessions and tour for Exile on Main Street a sell-out, but I'm a fan of brass and I think it kicked the whole thing into the stratosphere, especially on this cut.

Ironic, as the criers of sell-out should've been reminded that the Rolling Stones had used non-traditional rock instruments such as the harpsichord during "PLAY with FIRE" and an accordion for "Back Street Girl" long before "Exile on Main st" was created. |
