Notes
Nick Drake gorgeous debut, highlighting his precocious talent and painful sensitivity, the music possessing a remarkable maturity not in keeping with Nick's young years (he was 21 when the album came out). The melancholic resonance of Drake's voice and his sumptuous guitar playing being complemented by delicate string arrangements.
