Jeff Fitzgerald Donovan in the 1960s Book

Donovan is one of the musicians who defined the 1960s. The troubadour of the flower power generation, his story is one filled with tales of romance, legendary friendships, and screaming fans. It is also the story of a spiritual journey and of a personal mission to bring his message of love to the world. Most of all, though, it’s about the music.

Defying the press who dubbed him a mere Dylan imitator, Donovan found his own unique voice and produced some of the most creative and enduring music of the 1960s, transcending his folk roots by fusing rock, pop, jazz, classical and world music elements like no one had done before.

This book tells the Don's story through a deep dive into the music he created during his peak those times. Includes new insights from John Cameron, who arranged and played on many of Donovan’s classic songs of the era.
