David Gilmour is featured on two tracks from the new Donovan album,”Gaelia,” which drops Dec. 2.
The first Gilmour recording, “Rock Me,” has been released ahead of the album. The other track is “Lover O’ Lover.”
Donovan explains his connection to Gilmour goes back to the ’60s, when the Pink Floyd guitarist purchased Donovan’s cottage. “He said my album track ‘Three Kingfishers,’ off my ‘Sunshine Superman’ album of 1966, had launched him in a celestial music direction,” according to Donovan. “And so when I was selling my cottage, where so many of my songs were written, he wanted to be in my creative space. Makes sense in a Floyd sort of way.
“David had already learned to fly (he wrote a song about it, too ) and flew himself in to Ireland for the session,” he adds. “David brought his guitar roadie, who set up two amps in the studio, handed David his pink Strat, and his unique signature sound enthralled us all.”

Eight Nine Books will publish “Us And Them: The Authorised Story Of Hipgnosis” by Mark Blake Feb. 2.
Founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell in the late-’60s, the first album sleeve the agency designed was Pink Floyd‘s “A Saucerful of Secrets” (1968). The firm went on to design many covers for Floyd, as well as iconic artwork for Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, 10cc, AC/DC and many others.
Blake, whose work has appeared in Prog and Classic Rock magazines, is the author of “Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd” (2007) as well as other titles about bands such as The Who and Queen.
Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason all contribute exclusive commentary to the new book.

Sony Music released today “Comfortably Numb 2022,” a new recording of the Pink Floyd classic from Roger Waters‘s recent “This Is Not a Drill” tour.
The new track is available on streaming platforms.
“During lockdown I made a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb‘ as an opener for our new show,” Waters explains. “I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro chord sequence, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful female vocal solo from Shanay Johnson, one of our new singers.”
The accompanying video was produced and directed by Sean Evans. Photography by Kate Izor.
The track was produced by Waters and Gus Seyffert. Appearing on the track are Waters, vocals; Gus Seyffert , bass, synth, percussion, vocals; Joey Waronker, drums; Dave Kilminster, vocals; Jonathan Wilson, harmonium, synth, guitar and vocals; Jon Carin, synth, Vocals; Johnson, vocals; Amanda Belair, vocals; Robert Walter, organ/piano; Nigel Godrich, strings, amp and backing vocals from Roger Waters The Wall Sessions.
