Five Leaves Left

   Poet/Singer/Songwriter Nick Drake is truly amazing. His melancholy sound is simply something of which you can not get enough. It is almost addictive, at least for me anyway! His songs evoke feelings of introspection and amusement. His music can be heard again and again, and still each time you will feel like you are listening for the first time.

  Honestly, how could this grossly underrated 
individual be so young, so insightful, and so brilliantly talented? 


   Nick's first album, Five Leaves Left, in my opinion is his greatest recorded studio album. Nick Drake was physically sublime looking as was the depth of his soul revealed through his musical and lyrical talent.
