Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Her 1970 album 'Just Another Diamond Day' became a $1000 collector's item before its 2000 CD reissue, essentially inventing the 'freak folk' revival through scarcity mythology.
She wrote her most famous songs while literally traveling by horse and cart to Donovan's commune in 1969, making her the only major artist whose origin story is genuinely pastoral.
