Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

3. DonovanMellow Yellow

The thing about Donovan and this album is that there’s definitely a world of mellow, there’s the existence of that mellowness to it, but in terms of production, Mellow Yellow feels like a [much] bigger, fuller scale album because of the [work of] all the session musicians in there. There’s another album by Donovan called The Hurdy Gurdy Man, which is more psychedelic and more experimental which I also like. When you hear Donovan, who was a folk singer, he always goes so much beyond that and it’s quite fascinating in terms of all the many different things he can offer. I really appreciated what Donovan did at the time.
