Donovan - Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)

About "Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)"

"Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)" is a song by Donovan. He based it on "Can I Do It For You", a song by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. The name "Gyp" refers to Donovan's best friend, Gyp Mills, known then as Gypsy Dave, and is one of many songs that Donovan wrote and recorded as a dedication to his close friends.

Pye Records first released the song in the UK as the B-side to Donovan's song "Turquoise" in October 1965. Similar single releases in Canada, France, and Scandinavia followed. Hickory Records released it as the A-side to the Vietnam-themed "The War Drags On" in July 1966. In France, it was issued as a B-side to "Colours" in 1975. The song has since been issued on numerous collections of Donovan's music and as a bonus track to his 1965 album Fairytale (1996).
