Happy Listenings everybody.....................................................................
Great late 60's UK folk rock. I love the guitar.
I appreciate your comments @Les Strat. I have read about Nick Drake's history. It is tragic. I was first exposed to his work when watching the movie Garden State. Zach Braff directed, played a leading role and curated the music for this film. The soundtrack for this movie is one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard and includes One of These Things First. Mental health is a core tenant of the film. I am currently listening to Pink Moon. I'll find Solid Air. Thanks again for your comments.Thanks for posting this @OceanRanger
Nick Drake was a very special artist.
He barely achieved any success in the UK while he was alive and died, aged just 26, in 1974.
It was a tragic waste.
It wasn't until years after his death that his outstanding talent was finally recognised.
John Martyn wrote the brilliant song 'Solid Air' about Nick in 1973.
I love 'Five Leaves Left' and his two subsequent albums 'Bryter Later' from 1971 and 'Pink Moon' from 1972.
I will have a listen this evening
