Nick Drake Five Leaves Left CD

 great to hear again
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++

 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.

 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.

 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!
