Reissue of the late British folk icon's 1969 debut album. Ten tracks. Island.

Nick Drake's debut album encapsulates a marriage between folk music and the singer-songwriter genre. Part Donovan, part Jim Webb, he articulated an aching romanticism at a time when progressive rock ran rampant. Beautiful melodies and fragrant accompaniment, in particular Robert Kirby's stunning string arrangements, enhance the artist's sense of longing in which warm, but understated, vocals accentuate the album's passive mystery. An aura of existential cool envelops the proceedings, accentuated by Danny Thompson's sonorous bass lines and Drake's poetic imagery. The result is a shimmering, autumnal collection, reflective but never morbid. It's a tragedy that Drake never lived to see how his stature has grown.

Personnel: Nick Drake (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano); Richard Thompson (electric guitar); Clare Lowther (cello); Paul Harris (piano); Tristan Fry (vibraphone, drums); Danny Thompson (bass); Rocki Dzidzornu (congas).

Entertainment Weekly (5/12/00, p.24) - "On his ageless debut, everything - Drake's lispy voice and delicate guitar fingerpicking, arranger Robert Kirby's stately strings - feels shrouded in mist....Drake's most glorious miniatures." - Rating: A
Q (11/99, p.162) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Folk Albums of All Time - "...The pinnacle of a melancholy canon of work so distinctive that admirers can only speculate miserably on what might have been."
Alternative Press (3/01, p.88) - "...With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, [one] of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded..."
Q (Magazine) (p.122) - "[T]he mesmerising beauty of such songs as 'Way To Blue' and 'Time Has Told Me' perfectly evoke a world of peaceful rumination far from all the city madness."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.99) - "...Represents the first flourish of promise....God, how damn confident it all sounds. He knew how good he was..."
NME (Magazine) (10/2/93, p.29) - Ranked #74 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of All Time.'

glad thse came out on cd. nick drake gets forgotten a lot among fairport convention and the likes of the late 60s uk folk scene. to bad he was only around to record 3 albums. this was his best effort i thought A++

4 stars Underrated
This album is considered to be the best of Nick Drake, and from the initial notes, to the end, which comes far too early, it is not disappointing. Cello Song may well be one of those "sleeper- classics". well crafted songs and intriguing lyrics. Richard Thompson guests on one track. If you have not heard this, and you appreciate accoustic oriented music, you will not be disappointed. Nick's baritone voice is lilting and plaintive in places, and draws you in.

3 stars Is Nick related to Bruce?
This for me fills in a missing link ...and until I heard these samples I never really thought about where Bruce Cockburn might have come from...a whip-lash double-take might have resulted if I'd heard these sounds without a preface.( High Winds, White Sky or Night Vision ) Too bad I missed Nick.

5 stars A MELANCHOLIC ALBUM BY A MELANCHOLIC GUY
PEOPLE TALK A LOT ABOUT ATTITUDE. IT'S A KIND OF WORD DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. BUT IN THIS CASE, THERE ISN'T ANOTHER WORD TO EXPRESS THE WORK OF NICK DRAKE IN GENERAL, NOR THIS ALBUM IN PARTICULAR. THE PROOF OF THE FEELINGS OF NICK AND OF THE INTENSITY OF HIS WORK IS HIS DEATH, AT 26 OR 27, I DON'T KNOW. BUT - EXCUSE ME FOR THE "CLICHE" -HIS MUSIC AND POETRY SURVIVE. ETERNAL!
