<Victor said: I've often wondered if she is a Nick Drake fan as they both debuted albums at roughly the same time, though across the ocean from each other.>
Yes! In fact, that is one of the reasons I'm pondering this stuff because I was struck by the similarity between STAS and Five Leaves Left. They both use unusual open tunings and chord progressions and especially Nick - unconventional finger picking. Also Bruce C.'s first album came out close to these two also showcasing stellar though more blues-based open-tunings finger pickin'. So I'm wondering, what was in the water these guys were drinking at the time? i.e., who were the predecessors, if any? Dylan, Cohen, blues?
