• Lyhyt kuvaus Recorded around the time that Donovan studied meditation with the Beatles in India under the tutelage of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, A GIFT FROM A FLOWER TO A GARDEN is an ambitious 22-track double album. (In fact, it's one of the first two-LP sets in pop/rock history.) While the album offers more of the whimsical psychedelia first put forth by the Scottish singer/songwriter on 1966's SUNSHINE SUPERMAN, Donovan opts for a gentler, more thoughtful approach to both the music and lyrics. Oddly enough, it was also around this time that he publicly turned his back on drug use. The alleged lack of hallucinogens, however, doesn't stop the fantasy-loving performer from unveiling trippy tunes such as the dreamy classic "Wear Your Love Like Heaven,"" along with spare, absurdist songs like ""Voyage to the Golden Screen"" and ""Starfish-on-the-Toast."" While only the former track proved to be a hit, GIFT is filled with fine mellow moments such as ""Song of the Naturalist's Wife"" and ""The Lullaby of Spring,"" making it essential listening for those seeking to venture into the welcoming realm beyond Donovan's singles.
