From the first time I heard Day is
Done (from Five Leaves
Left) I knew I'd always be a Nick
Drake fan. I didn't know anything about him. His short life, his tragic
death, and his three albums were all unknown to me. But I knew I loved that song.
Since first hearing him almost ten years ago, I've listened to all the music, and it just
gets better. We just got the biography.
A sad story, for sure, but a great talent who, at the very least, left us a great
collection of tender songs that sound as up-to-date now as ever.

Three albums. That's all singer/songwriter Nick Drake left the world before he passed
away in 1974 at the age of 26. But what a three albums they were. This four-CD box set
contains all of it, including some stuff Drake didn't intend for public consumption. Of
course, everything he touched--even the demos and alternate takes--is gorgeous, melancholy
folk at its finest. From the haunting, baroque beauty of his debut, Five Leaves
Left, through to his pop masterpiece Bryter Layter,
to his last, Pink
Moon... |
