About this album

Barabajagal finds Donovan at an inventive late-1960s peak, balancing bright folk-rock songcraft with playful psychedelic touches. Issued in 1969, the album pairs melodic originals such as “Superlungs My Supergirl”, “To Susan On The West Coast Waiting” and “Happiness Runs” with the punchy title track, while “Atlantis” became one of his best-known and most enduring songs. The record reflects Donovan’s shift from pure troubadour pop towards a more eclectic, studio-shaped sound, helped by the era’s growing appetite for colour, wit and mysticism. Its mix of charm, catchiness and lyrical imagination keeps it central to his catalogue.
