How difficult was it, to care for an album released by a 60s man in his late 50s? Well, frankly, my dear... Donovan’s Beat Café
is a special album. Sweaty, sexual, stylish. It’s the sound of gritty, greedy
warmth of a late summer evening, when you’ve smoked too much and your brain is
whizzing with tiredness and inspiration.
Dylan Thomas’ classic
poem is perfect in this setting. Bass lines that merge with words and then
leave you speechless.
