Pack my bags and mount my horse, I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Imani Coppola released her song and video, "Legend of a Cowgirl", in 1997, and I instantly liked it. The song samples the song, "Sunshine Superman", by 60s British artist, Donovan. I heard Donovan's song on the satellite radio station that is played at my job yesterday, and I recognized the instrumentation right away.

Imani is a violinist, and she plays it a little bit at the end of the video. Here is the video (the quality is not that good) ...

I bought the CD single back when the song came out. It had one remix by Prince Paul.

Here is the Prince Paul remix ...

You can see in the image of the CD below that "Donovan Letich" is listed on the credits ...

Here is Donovan's song, "Sunshine Superman", which "Legend of a Cowgirl" samples ...

Here is another song from the "Sunshine Superman" album, called "Legend of a Girl Child Linda" (I wanted to include it since the name sounded similar to the main song in this post) ...

The above song kind of reminds me of Joanna Newsom's "Emily".

A little off the subject, but I had no idea that Donovan's daughter is the actress, Ione Sky from "Say Anything". Interesting.
