		This is closer than English Hurdy Gurdy Music to the classic sound of Blowzabella -- see particularly their albums Blowzabella Wall of Sound and Pingha Frenzy -- with a fuller sound than the previous album.

		At equal turns ecstasy of beauty, eery and haunting, and laugh-out-loud spritely, the two parts I didn't like on this CD were, unsuprisingly, the improvisational bagpipe...
		These two guys playing old hurdy gurdys wired to effects, and jamming to a techno rythm section on their Mac, were amazing.

		That was just in terms of their lyrics, because once you got to the music Dylan was defined by stark guitar playing sometimes augmented by a harmonica in the style of Woody Guthrie while Donovan was helping to define the psychedelic sound.
		Telling this to a Donovan fan would be preaching to the choir and I am not arguing that "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" constitutes the one regular album you would want to have or first pick up when you moved beyond the hits collection.
		"The Hurdy Gurdy Man" was probably Donovan's last truly solid effort, although a few missteps mark this as a slightly lesser work than the three previous masterpieces that came before it.

		The point of this article is simply to show how one can, in a weekend or so, with very basic woodworking skills & for quite minimal expense create a very pleasing simple hurdy gurdy & in the process learn a lot about this most fascinating instrument.
		The shape of my instrument here is patterned after the first hurdy gurdies, many centuries ago, which were rectangular in shape.

		To me, the appeal of the Swedish hurdy gurdy that we use lies within its incompleteness.
		Putting mics on the hurdy gurdy - without knowing how to do so in the first place - has produced a lot of sounds never heard before, sounds that causes laughs in the rehearsing rooms: "The insect is awake!" Since this is our reality, we've grown to love this second nature of the instrument.
		My first introduction to the hurdy gurdy was upon hearing the short passage in Richard Thompson's "Keep Your Distance." I fell in love with the instrument, and it is a joy to hear what you do with it.

		No seriously, I had never listened to this band until I saw them open for Garmarna at the Nordic Roots Festival (the hurdy gurdy/fiddle player in Garmarna is also in Hurdy Gurdy).
		The awesome Donovan cover is the same version used on that record, as is "Barking Dogs." The only exclusive here is a techno remix of "Hurdy Gurdy Man," but it's only a pale imitation done by some faceless Rough Trade person, not a Paul Leary or Jackofficers remix.
		My kids and I are teaching ourselves how to play these instruments and we are using these three CD's to hear how some short, familiar songs are supposed to sound.

		The St.Chartier festival is held annually, and is the premier event for those interested in hurdy-gurdies, French bagpipes (cabrette and cornemuse), and French folk music in general.
