Who else has heard of Nick Drake?
No one in my social circle has.
I 'discovered' him about ten years ago. I'm not a big fan of acoustic folk music but his was on another level. Ethereal but uniquely uplifting.
He was a laconic and shy individual who hated self-promotion and averse to playing live. But his music has had a subtle resurgence. |

"Mine too! Northern Sky."
If you like Northern Sky do you like John Martyn? I've always thought Couldn't Love You More has a very similar feel or energy to it, for as different as their voices are. |

Wow Nick Drake haven't listened to him for a long time. Am I right in saying he did an album or 2 with a band also?
Pink Sky of course a favourite of mine.
Maybe you like the Velvet Underground, bands of this usual style I don't go for, but they are an exception to the rule.
Hope your well peeps xx |

I first heard him on an Island Records compilation CD in the early 90s. Funnily enough it also had a John Martyn track on it. It's quite an eclectic set of tunes - I still listen to it now. |

For anyone that likes Nick Drake, i recommend an artist called "Jackson C Frank".
His music is sublime.
(He actually was an influence on both Nick Drake & Paul Simon.)
Start with the track "Milk and Honey". |

"But I've read so much about about him and watched the online documentaries...why does John Martyn not ring a bell? Thanks for the link.  "
Solid Air album? He wrote the song Solid Air about Nick and John is mentioned in documentaries. |
