Donovan veröffentlicht Songs mit David Gilmour: Rock Me, Love O’ Lover

Donovan veröffentlicht das Album Gaelia, das er 1991 aufnahm, aber seither offiziell nicht rauskam. Interessant für uns dabei ist das Mitwirken von David Gilmour, der 1991 gemeinsam mit Phil Taylor nach Irland zu Donovan flog, um seine Solos für dessen Album aufzunehmen.

DONOVAN: I met up with David at Lord Michael and Lady Marina Cowdray’s country estate,” he says. “These two dear, noble friends of Linda and mine were holding amazing salons where the most futuristic creatives in music and awareness would gather. Soon Linda and I were headed with Michael and Marina and His Holiness the Tibetan Gylwang Drukpa of Ladakh up into the Himalayas to found a school in Ladakh. But back to the salon.

That night at Marina’s, David and I chatted about how he had bought my cottage in the ’60s when I married Linda and moved on. Why,  I asked? He said my album track ‘Three Kingfishers,’ off my ‘Sunshine Superman’ album of 1966, had launched him in a celestial music direction, and so when I was selling my cottage, where so many of my songs were written, he wanted to be in my creative space. Makes sense in a Floyd sort of way.

David had already learned to fly (he wrote a song about it, too ) and flew himself in to Ireland for the session. David brought his guitar roadie, who set up two amps in the studio, handed David his pink Strat, and his unique signature sound enthralled us all.
