as a starting point and ending point i always turn to five leave left
Confirmed Drake lover.
I first heard 5 leaves, like some of it, but it was "Time of No Reply" and
"Pink Moon" that did me in. Never heard "Bryter Later" I must confess.
Pink Moon rules. I'd go there first. Buy it, dim the lights some night
when you're feelin

Yeah, there's a real nice single-disc best
Speaking of, has anyone read that biography of Drake that's around
these days. Being cheap, I haven't bothered to skim one of those
expensive-looking hardcovers I see everywhere. But I will probably
consider it when remainder / paperback time rolls around...

Ahhh . . . a chance to wax on the wonderful work of Nick Drake. None captures
the twisted personal beauty of despair quite like him. You can truly hear him
sinking into the end of his life on record.
You can't go wrong with any of the discs. The compilation, "Way to Blue",

Oooh! Now we're talking... How is that set? Are there relatively
straight tonkers, etc. on there, before the full-blown sixties style

I don't think I would have turned the corner ever with Five Leaves Left.
Definitely either Bryter Layter (orchestrated) or Pink Moon (solo).

Well fill me in here. Did Miller record much or
On the "me too" front, all Nick Drake is good. My favorite is the very

Get the boxed set. From my standpoint, as a fearless warrior against all
production that exceeds five guys standing (or sitting) around amplifiers
