Every time I heard I Recall A Gypsy Woman by Don Williams it always reminds me of the unusual hot summer of 1976 in the UK.

Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman"

From Frank Zappa & the Mothers: Who Needs the Peace Corps?
"I'm hippie and I'm trippy
I'm a Gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week and get the crabs
and take the bus back home
I'm really just a phony,
But forgive 'cos I'm stoned..."
The late Maestro Zappa used the phrase "Gypsy on my own" because Gypsies, it is well known, travel communally. Zappa's scathing send-up concerned the way the stoned Haight-Ashbury counterculture didn't know jack about the cultures they tried to imitate.
"Who needs the Peace Corps?" alludes to the way the hippie kids snubbed hard-work and self-sacrifice to affect REAL change, favoring hedonistic treks to San Francisco.
Anyway...

Rock on!
Now that phrase really applies here! Unfortuantely not many others do...

Donovan: The Enchanted Gypsy
That's from his greatest album, a double called "A Gift From a Flower to a Garden." It's got a picture of Donovan and the Maharishi on the back of it. Donovan's in-jacket booklet, his message to the young one, urges all the flower children to stay away from drugs of any kind. I still say "Gift" is great for a mellow mystical time hanging out with the green guy, and I know Donovan agrees!
It's not like the Zappa frenzy of freaked out John Coltrane/Edgard Varese musique concrete brain scraper, nor is it like the overbearing, mind-wrenching riffs from Hendrix's left-handed guitar. Noooo, Donovan takes a gentle, mystical journey of spiritual liberation, love, and transcendance...there's just no better record out there than "Gift from a Flower to a Garden" for that!
