I am a bit dumbfounded, I thought this was relatively recent music, but it was made before I was born even 0_0

I've been listening to Nick Drake since the mid-70s. His music really is timeless.
Ilona Knopfler does a cover of this that I like quite a bit. You can check it out on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/river-man/id339951085?i=339951275

Another 1969 release. What a year and this one shows the broad range of music that exploded that year.

From what I've seen and heard in the documentary(that is not fully funded)his friends say his live performances were not nearly as good as his live shows.....and it hurt him.Boy was he good in the studio! |

It's early morning. The sky is blue, the air is cold, there's frost on the rooftops and two ring-necked doves perched on the telephone wire outside my window. I'm drinking my first cup of coffee, and this song is playing. How could things possibly get better? I agree with those who say that this song makes everything quiet around them. I'm peaceful and content, for the first time in weeks. Mr. Drake, you were ahead of your time - a Renaissance Man in a world of cretins. Thank you for your music.

The shift back and forth between major and minor key just hypnotises me. The atmosphere is so thick you could cut it with a knife. A stunning song. Remember folks it's Ray LaMontagne ripping off Nick Drake, not the other way round.

It sounds as though this is someone i should have heard of but i haven't. I couldn't get above 6 for this one though. Felt it was OK but a bit long for the lack of variation in the song.
