I haven't been a fan of Nick Drake for long, only 'bout a year or so but his wide recognition as one of the greatest acoustic artists of all time i will certainly not question. The beauty of his masterful playing and understated voice are immediately evident. Yesterday I was in the local library and spotted this on the shelf;
Published last year, it's the most up-to-date (if you can use that term for a posthumous biography) account of Nick's short life. So far (i'm about halfway through) it's as compelling as his music. I think the song in the clip below (PLACE TO BE) is a good representation of his introspective style. The title of the biography is also taken from lyrics in this song. It's from his third and final album "Pink Moon". Enjoy!!
