Re: Nick Drake

^^^ Wonderful rendition Sunny, thanks for sharing with us! :grinthumb

I own Way To Blue (An Introduction to Nick Drake), Five Leaves Left, and Pink Moon.

There is a certian haunting element to his music that reminds me of only a few other artists. Elliot Smith, Syd Barrett, and Leonard Cohen for instance. It's like the music is impervious to time.

My favotite song by him would probably have to be Cello Song.

Settled down at last and very happy.

Re: Nick Drake

^^^^ Cello Song is beautiful Mr B. It's funny how Nick was relatively unknown until a few years ago then he suddenly acquired a cult following. My Mum used to leave a tape of his albums playing in our bedroom to lullaby my sister and I to sleep when we were babies :heheh:

Re: Nick Drake

Recently added a bunch of Nick Drake to my collection. I'm pretty impressed with him:

Re: Nick Drake

I'm surprised I hadn't gotten into his work before I did. Definitely some of my favorite folk in my collection.
