- Back to my roots a little - One guitar, a Zoom H2, and a 70's folk cover.
Huge thanks to Reina Del Cid for letting me borrow her beautiful Martin 00-15. Don't worry, I toweled it off very thoroughly after every take.

I am a 70 years young man that plays a little guitar and just happened to come across Operator, well Josh I have spent my entire morning watching your videos back to 2011. What an amazing talented and gifted musician . It is wonderful to see you and your friends having so much fun while entertaining so many. Thank You
Vincent Blackligtning 1952 ... just in my opinion, slightly humbled...
I came across Josh's videos a few months ago and I'm also a huge fan. YT is flooded with musicians of all levels, but there are tons of talented people to discover, but not many can compel me to return to their channel(s). Covering a tune and making it your own is a specific talent, and Josh has that gift.
I've been playing guitar and playing in bands for 30+ years, playing both originals and covers. And I wish I had some small measure of the talent that Josh has. Even melancholy songs can be a source of joy and catharsis and you can tell that Josh cares about what he does, and seems to nail it pretty much every time.
Josh would be very deserving of a CGP.
@@mikeyankie9594 he’s exceptional...but at the same level as Tommy E???
@@INSGIB Who is tho??
On the record version of this song, Nick is notably out of tune, so much that the piano probably had to be recorded using an adjusted tape speed. Josh is tuned here exactly to match that pitch shift. Impeccable attention to detail, as always.
is it a special tuning ? I have a terrible ear but I don't think it's in standard 440 right ? Peace !
@@jixxxxer17 Tuned to CGCFCE but up a little from A-440
@@Jakeman1260 thanks !
@@Jakeman1260 I tried it and can not get the same sound. How would you go about it? thanx
@@Jakeman1260 Nevermind, I got it. On the guitar tuner, just go up from the notes, so they are in the red and it says high
Drake would be impressed, flattered, and full of joy if he heard this, Josh.
Totally agree, Josh is awesome 💫💫
Why Drake ? 🤔
Sam Szigeti Nick Drake
Lol alternate universe Drake and Josh!
Here here, I have not heard a cover the comes within a km of this....x
This song always gets me. I’ve heard it said that the native Americans saw death or compared death to a pink moon. Makes sense. “Pink Moon is on its way, none of you stand so tall, Pink Moon’s gonna get you all.”
I think of it more in terms of The Second Coming, where Jesus speaks of the moon turning blood red.
reminds me of the book of the new sun
And that gets even sadder when you realise that he took his life only a year or two after the release of pink moon
Everyone's right.@@petemccarry2326
Beautiful cover of Nick Drake's style, spot on. Top job Josh.
Very nice.
This song has randomly entered my life over and over lately. Lovely, Josh. Check out Meshell Ndegeocello’s youtube version too.
Real shame that there isn't even one video of Nick performing live..
He only has performed in public once or twice. He was widely rejected by the community and the majority of people didn't fancy his type of music.
In fact Nick Drake has made around twenty concerts. According to Robert Kirby his best performance was may be the first or second of his performances. He was in the first part of the a Sandy Denny concert. He also performed in the legendary London Cafe concert " Les Cousins" in 1970, one evening with John Martyn ( Not in duet).
Im on at the Red Lion tonight 8.30, dont be late.....yours truly nick drake
@@gillesserrigny6324A big maybe that , even Jason Creeds research doesn't really confirm anything near that figure, certainly when we are referring to Nick as a professional artist, rather than a student.
now we have this--to see how it was played. I love this
Simply amazing
IT is
I have never seen anyone ever emulate Drake’s style like you have, amazing work.
JubJub you might also like Tobias Wilden's covers of Nick Drake.
David Nadbornik Eill check them out, thanks.
Also only possible on a Martin
@plectrum34 is still the best nick drake cover artist on youtube.
i love how Josh's videos start immediately with music. No bs splash screen or anything else that can ruin the immersion. Very tasteful and much appreciated
Absolutely!❤
Such a beautiful cover, Josh. A loving reminder of how great of a guitarist Nick Drake was and the haunting beauty of his music. I’d love to see you have a crack at ‘Which Will’ or ‘From the Morning’ someday
Or "Time Has Told Me"
Or "Time of No Reply"
.....Thanks for Pink Moon

Hey! since you're a radiohead fan, thought I'd give you a heads up -- I've started a 'Mindful Music' Series where I'm taking a mindfulness approach to giving critical listens to some musical gems and reviewing them afterwards. I started with Radiohead's "Weird Fishes" and just did Nick Drake's Pink Moon last week -- thought I'd share - Cheers! :)
I was just listening to this song like 15 minutes ago and remembering about your video on Nick Drake's tone. Wonderful job, man!
Nickel strings?
Which video?
@@kurt2890 th-cam.com/video/EzdQE3fJW2E/w-d-xo.html this one
The subtley and brilliance of Drake's arrangements is just astonishing. I wish he'd lived longer and written more songs. Such a brilliant talent.
You do Nick Drake so well. Been waiting for this one for a while. Great job, Josh!
Happy Pink Moon Day, Nick Drake fans. (4/26/21) God bless. 🤗
♥️ Pink 🌝 2021
A friend of mine got me into nick drake. We’ve since lost touch, but thank you for bringing such dear memories
Give them a call!
Send him this video
Melissa Catherine a friend of mine introduced me to him 25 years ago ! Where is the time going???!!!!
Find your friend on Facebook
It's never too late to reach out again!:)
Rest In Peace Nick. This album will always be your greatest statement. ☮️
was only around for 2 minutes.
Just wonderful. A really authentic version. I've been hoping you'd do this for a long time.
Man, the incorporation of the piano line will never not give me chills. Truly incredible
it’s actually insane
Mate, this is fantastic! Sounds great. My Dad went to school with Nick Drake many years ago, have always had his songs playing in our house over the years. I've got tickets to see you with Carson in London soon, can't wait. keep up the good work
01:39 look at that strumming
wow
What about it?
Flamenco never fails to impress!
Am I missing something here? There is much more in this to point out.
@@71hammyman do you know the specific term of that strumming?
Always amazed by how you NAIL the Nick Drake tone, strumming, chord voicings and overall vibe all while keeping the classic Josh Turner aesthetic. Pure music power 🤙🏼
I listen to Nick Drake very often but when I want to see it I come here. Thanks for this.
listened to nick drake under so many different circumstances...25 years ago when i was 15 i first heard this album...stoned as hell in my friends house. Listened to it to help with depression, listened to it to get over toxic breakup times, listened to it when introducing it to my friends after a crazy night, listened to it while alone in the countryside, learned how to play the songs and consequently learned how to write other songs in his tuning. I absolutely loved this cover so much i was reduced to tears thinking about all of the above. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If ever there was a singer that I wished could have stayed around into his later years, it was Nick Drake. Thankyou for carrying his song so melodically. It's a pink moon.
FINALLY! I have been waiting for this but not telling you about it.
Your dedication too the craft is unreal man. You have my endless respect:
1. for covering this song phenomenally
2. For carrying on Nick’s legacy and unrecognised talent
Your roots are some of the strongest, most solid roots I’ve ever been lucky enough to observe. Excellent job.
p.s. On the Nick Drake front, please give me advanced warning if you ever end up deciding to cover Northern Sky, cause I’ll need at least a couple days lead time not to straight up fall out and die. (Much powerful. Very heartsplode.)
this chick does yoga
😂 Yep... here’s a live cam of me doing yoga right now: th-cam.com/video/HsvyjePPFRs/w-d-xo.html
instead of getting offended, she RAISES the STAKES with EXCELLENT MEMEING.
th-cam.com/video/JW68goC4_es/w-d-xo.html
Northern sky is the most beautiful song ever written.
what's a root. like a chord? or
That was truly brilliant. Well done. I like to think Nick Drake would have loved that.
Amazing cover, I’d love if you gave a lesson on this song.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition, McLoving!
Josh, I bought this CD for my wife a few years ago. Now, she is in a different town for a bit, Isolating with and keeping her parents safe till Covid blows through. I'll have to send her the link to your cover. The sadness and sweetness of this song just fits this time!
Excellent job Josh......you should do a couple of John Martyn's classics, he used a wonderful variety of really interesting open tunings
I wish I knew how many campfires in 2019 had Nick Drake's music playing in the background.
every night of every camping trip ive been on since 2014 has ended with Nick Drake. On one special occasion, a buddy was hearing it for the first time, and was blown away. I was made so happy by this that i had to tell someone, so i emailed Nick's estate and told them the story. A few days later his sister Gabrielle responded and told me that she believes Nick is very happy to see so many people discovering his music. I still smile every time i think of it.
Jeff Postus That’s a very touching story.
So so cool, and glad to find out that she is the type of person to do something like this. She seems nice in interviews and the documentary but you always wonder what a person's really like.. Makes me happy he grew up in such a nice family. Yet it makes one wonder even more--about what could have been....
...
Nick's music really changed me. It's always good to hear your cover's of him. Your interpretation matches pretty well.
Iogo me too 🧡
So cool, I am loving your Nick Drake covers! Nicks talents portrayed brilliantly!!
Awesome Josh. Nick Drake would be honored by your excellent rendition of Pink Moon. Never heard it done so well. Still miss Nick after all these years. He left us with so much. He left us tragically, and way to soon.
Awesome..
Today is your channel's anniversary! 12 incredible years!! Congrats man! ❤ I love what you do, keep being you
Sounds exactly like the recording. 🤩🥰
Wish Nick Drake kept living. Beautiful song/cover
Yeah, me too, man.
truly a phenomenal piece by a phenomal artist performed by an even more phenomal JT - thank you so much
STUNNING, young man.....STUNNING. I've been waiting YEARS for a proper reconstruction/reading of "Pink Moon" on TH-cam.......thanks for doing it...!!!!
Such an incredible song! Loved this rendition, I always feel like Josh's Nick Drake covers show so much appreciation towards the original
I heard you do this cover several years ago and I always find myself coming back and listening to this. I remember hearing Nick Drake as a young boy in the 60s and when I heard you do this cover it all came back to me wow what a wonderful musician he was, and he would be proud to know that you nailed this song. Thank you.
Got the tone down and even all the little "misktakes "in the song. Perfect my man.
This is by far the best cover of Pink Moon I've heard. You really get Nick Drake!
I love the way you incorporated the piano melody into your guitar playing, very subtle but there nonetheless. Great cover!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much Josh!
Just watched this 10+ times! Apart from Nick himself, I fail to see anyone else who could do this song more justice. Absolutely fantastic sir!
0:41 whenever this chord hits I'm in some weird place, very beautiful.
I figured, who the hell would try to do Nick Drake’s epic Pink Moon? This is surprisingly well done. Well done.
The rain is so fitting.
The Pink Moon of 2021brought me here. As always, a wonderful interpretation. Happy Pink 🌝 .
Please do more Nick Drake covers, especially "Which Will" and "From the Morning", if you take requests I would be forever indebted to you Josh! Another couple of Nick's songs I would love to hear you cover are also "Road", "Black Eyed Dog", "Things behind the Sun", "Strange Meeting II", "Clothes of Sand" and "Hazey Jane II". I know you've done Hazey Jane II but that was a while ago and I'd love to see you do it again now that you're much more fluent with your instrument. Best wishes to you and yours Josh. Thanks for the great work you guys do.
Before I clicked, I thought, "Hey, that's Reina's Martin. This should be cool!"
And it was. Excellent job. 😁
Ted Bownas Reina, the poor girl will be getting a complex, with lots of people saying what a great sounding guitar he is playing.
I think you should do a Nick Drake tour! I would go see that show.
Josh would you consider doing a cover of Frank Sinatra Somethin' Stupid? Maybe with Alex Kastanas? Would love to hear it! thanks for sharing your talents!!
Incredible. What's the tuning?
I had to stop prepping for work when I saw this. Your videos are my go-to if I want to rest and this just hit the spot. Thanks for this, Josh!
This is absolutely perfect!
Dude yes, 100% yes. Please please please I have been requesting you to cover Nick Drake's songs "Which Will" and "From the Morning". I need to hear you cover those two specifically Josh! Nick Drake was a huge influence for me when learning guitar and I think more people should be exposed to his music and give it a try. He's a songwriters songwriter.
Nick would be happy if he heard your cover.
Thanks. Love Nick Drake.
The loss was tragic, bet he is not forgotten 🥲
This is such a good rendition.
I stumbled across this video and honestly thought you were from the uk...only seeing your other videos is it apparent you are definitely not a fellow Brit...wow.
Best Nick Drake cover I've heard and the other videos you've posted are really good too.
Instant subscribe.
Absolutely incredible. Just discovered you today and watched about ten videos in a row. I'm a huge Nick Drake fan and might have to get tickets to see you live here in London next month. 🙂
Mi dentista habia puesto esta cancion, y tuve la necesidad de preguntarle quien era el artista. Asi conocí a Nick Drake. Hermosa cancion,e interpretación. Saludos desde Argentina! 🇦🇷
Thank you Josh, watching this cover introduced me to Nick Drake. He’s now one of my favorite artists and has changed my life. This is an amazing cover. You’re talented.
What matters is that we all carry our love for this guy’s guitar genius forward. You’re paying that immense compliment and that service to his memory. Bravo
That's first rate, Josh. Been listening to Nick Drake for nearly 30 years and struggling with the guitar for longer.
I love the spread on the guitar sound ! Reminds me of "Never Going Back Again" :) Beautiful as always.
i love how guitar strings vibrate on camera
That guitar sounds immense. Not heard the original but that was great.
Dude…
Wonderfully done, loved the nuanced colouring and syncopation that the subtle fan strumming brought to the song.
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Such a longtime favorite of mine - never have been able to actually sing it though. Hard to believe that song is from 1971. It really could have been written yesterday.
Huge Nick Drake fan.. never heard a cover like it. Was amazing to hear. Thank you Josh.
Fantastic..... that's all that needs to be said
thanks
I love your nick drake covers, they are always on spot. You’re breathtaking
Soooo good!!!! Really captures Nick Drake's sound. I love the guitar on this. Best cover by far.
Hey Josh please please do cover of yesterday (Beatles) and Mr tambourine man ( Bob Dylan). Thanks
Well shit- you nailed that! (Damn those Martins sound good....)
the quality is insane!! fuck I love this cover
Is this in standard tuning? I see capo at 2nd fret. And reading it’s a little sharp. Tia somebody knowledgeable!
Nick’s guitar was a bit sharp on the record and Josh has tuned up slightly here too to match it.
one of my favorite covers of all time. nick would be really proud
Man I love that Martin mahogany acoustic
I bought a 000-RS1 (now the 000-10E it looks like) last summer, and if you're looking for a dark wood Martin without forfeiting so many arms and legs, it's a wonderful guitar, I love it. I played the more expensive Martins at the shop, and I couldn't justify spending more with how spectacularly the RS1 plays.
@@kylanbowden6125 thanks man
Kylan Bowden thank you!
Really well done Josh!
bing bing bing bing bingah moon
I so love Nick Drake. But the resonance of seeing/hearing them at the same time is really fu*king special.
WOW
That's just mesmerising...
A deeply respectful rendition of a gem. Great job, josh.
fucking beautiful man
That was the first Nick Drake song I ever heard when I started listening to him. A few weeks back I listen to that album about 4 times. One more gone to soon.
very true. I listen to this album practically on repeat this time of year. Even did a review of it on my Mindful Music series last week :)
Love the guitar in this song. So simple yet powerful. Great cover my friend.
That Martin is singing!!
I'm so happy I've found your channel. Truly amazing!
I LOVE that Nick has such a loyal and loving following. This is as perfect as it gets Josh. Do you do any tribute concerts?
Bro, i just listen this i want to cry. Amazing cover and amazing song. Nick will live in our hearts forever
Fantastic. Thanks.
Great job , Nick never got the attention he deserved and I'm sure he would pleased listening to you . Again Great job !
Should cover Postcards From Paraguay by Mark Knopfler
