Hurdy Gurdy Man is the sixth studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan, released in 1968 on Epic Records. It stands as one of his most musically adventurous works, a record that drifts between psychedelic folk, jazz, and drone-based composition, anchored by the iconic title track that reached the Top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic.
The album reflects Donovan at the height of the late-60s counterculture moment, with tracks like "Peregrine," "The River Song," and "Tangier" built around Eastern-influenced drone structures, while the pop-forward cuts showcase the melodic instinct that made him one of the era's defining voices. The jazz-tinged closing track "As I Recall It" points toward the sonic experimentation that defined his late-decade output. This is one of the most sought-after entries in his catalog for collectors of late-60s British folk and psychedelia.
