Donovan is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Allen Klein, Bobbie Gentry, Clive Davis, Memphis Minnie and Eight Miles High. Those roots explain a lot about how Donovan arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, Bert Jansch, Tim Buckley and Manfred Mann, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rocky Raccoon, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, The Raconteurs, Julie Driscoll and Julee Cruise, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 80 connections around Donovan, reaching back through Allen Klein and forward to Rocky Raccoon.
