Review

A tribute album on which a variety of contemporary performers cover Donovan songs -- Hypnolovewheel does "Epistle to Dippy" and the Posies do "The River Song." Donovan's versions are better, of course, but the re-imaginings give a different flavor to songs closely identified with their original recordings. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
