Classy cool, maybe Richie Havens next?  or Joan Armitrading, both have a beautiful similarity to this, imho

THE NEW NICK CAVE (not Drake) album is a SENSATION!!

Reminds me of Bert Jansch's Blackwater Side. The 60s were a time of folk revival in the UK.

So hard to pick just ONE, but this is my favorite Nick Drake recording.

I can't believe that I never knew this man's music at all during his lifetime, not until I heard him here just recently. 
I'm getting blown away with each song I hear. Gonna be makin' my list, but I'd dearly love to hear a few more cuts from Mr. Drake's repertoire.
This particular song made me think of John Martyn, and I thought I could I could even hear a bit of Bert Jansche (Pentangle?) there as well. Does anyone else pick up on that, or am I just hearing things? Ha!

I grew up in England in the 60's and never heard of Nick Drake.  RP is a great station. I loved this song and have bought many more  songs thanks to RP.  A radio station with 50% of the songs from folks I've never heard of.  Very good.

Me too — I had only heard the ones on the VW commercials.  He surely made a vast collection of music in such a short time!  I borrowed the box set from the library and it was overwhelming to listen to all at once.  I really enjoy hearing the lesser known tracks here, they blend in very well with the rest of the RP playlist.  Timeless.

Indeed - this is my take on it from research too.

But it does not really matter. . . he is sadly gone. It does bring into focus the saying 'you are a long time dead'. Live every moment, because who knows when your own clock will stop ticking.
 
I kicked you to the curb in another post, but you're very right here. Dammit. Live every moment.  *hugs you*

Nick Drake, 1969. No footage of the adult Drake exists;
he was only ever captured in still photographs and in home
footage from his childhood

Love how this floats in and out and changes tempo as it does.  From the show on Nick they said his guitar work was masterful and without error.

RP listeners (including me) love Nike Drake. There are 16 songs by this artist in the RP library and 11 of them are rated at 8.0 or more....amazing.

Actually, he probably doesn't think at all now that he's dead.

But I think he's cool. And I wish he weren't dead.

But what can you do.

Move on.

Next.

I'm not sure if it's a bad or a good thing to have a car commercial bring you into the mainstream, but Volkswagen aside, I love hearing more of his stuff. Thanks!

I've know Nick Drake for ages, love his music. His story is sooo sad, so lonely and so depressing. I never can forget that when I listen...

This is why I love RP--I'd never heard of this guy before (we're a bit sheltered here in Spokane). He was great! It's too bad he's gone.
