Nick Drake - Family Tree

 

Aka "Scraping the Barrel". Nevertheless, a fascinating collection of home recordings and demos from before he was not famous. You get the impression that he could take even the most rank material and turn it into something compelling.

I must have been one of the few to buy Nick's stuff when he was alive. Nobody I knew liked it. I loved his music then, I still love it now. Maybe because of the Fairport connection.

 

I nearly fell out of my chair when they used Northern Sky in the film Serendipity. I still feel very sad about his passing far too soon - could never watch UFO as seeing his sister Gabrielle always made me a tad melancholy.

 

Thanks for bringing him up, I shall go listen to Bryter Layter now.

Bryter Later was the only one I knew while he was alive - I've got to know the other stuff since he died. There's a timeless brilliance to more or less everything on those three albums. And although it contains his best song, Northern Sky, I prefer the other two to Bryter Later.

Mods you might want to just leave the address for this as I know the N word is a no no but the sentiment and the song are fantastic.
