It's just slipped into my all time favourite albums list. I have had it on repeat for the last month! It's a timeless album.... :D

I got his debut album from 1970, Five Leaves Left, it's a timeless masterpiece. Some of the most beautiful string arrangements I have ever heard ^

oh you must must get Pink Moon, it's heartbreakingly stark and so sad. Just him and a guitar and it's utterly hypnotising. I don't think anything has met it's standards yet :!:

Indeed. It has to, this album is a masterpiece.

A shame he committed suicide before meeting success.

There's a new Nick Drake compilation album coming out called 'Family Tree' which is made up of pre-record contract cassette recordings. :)

I have all of his albums and I probably prefer five leaves left to Pink Moon, I only got into him a few years ago, when I got interested in the british folk music revival, and he was cited as a influence (he is not really folk as such) by Rachel Unthank and the Winterset (a brilliant band giivng a new slant to trad folk), who covered Riverman on their debut album.
