| | CD Baby: DONOVAN: Beat Cafe |
 | | Of course, HE DID and oh my, what a wonderful, lovesexy, barabajagal this CD is.From melt in your mouth lyrics like "two lovers" to the incredibly hip "beatcafe" Donovan has me addicted. |
 | | Rather than compare "Beat Cafe" with either his folk and acoustic work or his 60s folk-rock hits, think instead of "Mellow Yellow" (the album, not the single): listen to The "Observation," "Bleak City Woman," and "Young Girl Blues" and you'll hear the same smoky, erotic, jazzy (but subdued and bluesy) feeling throughout. |
 | | The cd pulls you in immediately as Donovan mysteriously intones a beat-era chant, "shakapakkapakkapakkati" (and you thought "goo goo barabajagal" was a mouthful). |
