Mac Macleod's incredible musical journey starts in the smokey St Albans' folk clubs of the early sixties, where he played alongside Donovan, John Renbourn, Mick Softley and Maddy Prior. He moved on to garage rock and psychedelia, in the Other Side (with Boz Scaggs for a while) and the Exploding Mushroom. 1968 found the legendary Hurdy Gurdy giiging at Middle Earth (Donovan wrote 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' for him). He added guitar to 'local' band Argent's demo and then formed the sitar-drenched Amber.

The Hurdy Gurdy Man is the sixth studio album (seventh overall) by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the US in October 1968 (Epic Records BN 26420 (stereo)), but not in the UK, because of a continuing contractual dispute that also prevented Sunshine Superman and Mellow Yellow from being released there. A songbook of lead sheets to the album was nonetheless issued in both countries.

Mac MacLeod (born Keith MacLeod, 9 July 1941, St Albans, Hertfordshire) is an English musician who was a part of the Hertfordshire folk and blues scene from 1959 onwards. He played in St Albans alongside Mick Softley, Maddy Prior and toured with John Renbourn. The anthology Mac MacLeod – The Incredible Musical Odyssey of the Original Hurdy Gurdy Man on RPM/Cherry Red Records contains many rare recordings, from the acoustic folksy beginnings through a succession of one-off groups like The Other Side (with Boz Scaggs) and Exploding Mushroom, to the Hurdy Gurdy (with producers Rod Argent and Chris White). The group became an underground favourite and went on to headline at Middle Earth, supporting Pink Floyd at the same venue. MacLeod has a new more acoustic based album in the works.

He added guitar to 'local' band Argent's demo and then formed the sitar-drenched Amber. His new electric recordings are included here, and feature Mac's brand new take of 'Hurdy Gurdy Man'.
