    This brings tears to my eyes for the timeless and profound music and the great loss of Nick Drake. And thanks to Joe Boyd for being so open, generous and incredibly articulate about his experiences. If only Nick Drake could know his incalculable impact on the world.

    Danny Thompson's comment on playing on River Man is priceless, it was in 5/4. some of the string players from the LSO were there, the lead fiddle player was Robert Culp's dad. Danny looked at the chart and said to the conductor you don't want me to play this do ya? Oh, well play what you like then. I'll be serving the song, not just playing. Alright, let Danny do his own thing. Afterwards, Culp said to him, if I had you in the LSO, I wouldn't need the other seven.

      From the web: "Renowned producer Joe Boyd will discuss two of the classic folk-rock albums he produced in the Island catalogue when the Classic Album Sundays listening series takes place for a third year at Camp Bestival at the end of July (2014).
      The festival is being held at Lulworth Castle from July 31-August 3, and the listening event, presented by global speaker and headphone manufacturer Klipsch Audio, will feature star guest Boyd and Classic Album Sundays founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy discussing Fairport Convention’s ‘Liege & Lief’ and Nick Drake’s ‘Five Leaves Left,’ both 45 years old this year.

    Out of courtesy, I tried to contact Gabrielle, via her agent for her view, but have not received a reply.

    Big Star records didn't sell too well when they first came out also, mainly due to poor PR, poor management, poor promotion, and lack of communication between the labels and
    the band, or management. With Nick it seems more like Island didn't have any idea how to promote him, although, if that's the case, what about people like Bert Jansch, Sandy Denny,
    or Anne Briggs? None of whom really had high hopes for the Top 40 charts, I hate to tell everyone. If Nick had been putting out records in the later 80s or 1990s, with the college
    radio boom, and stations like WFUV in NYC, he would have had a ready audience, really. On the other hand, it's always been hard to sell folk and folk rock music, and in America,
    it's 10000x harder. That hasn't even changed. Anyway, it wasn't Joe Boyd's job to go sell or promote Nick's albums, it was Island. Of course, the other issue was that Nick
    wasn't able to go out and tour and do interviews, etc. That was a major issue for the record co.

Oh yeah, the Cello Song is pretty compelling, amazing really. I appreciate everything he did but don't listen to everything regularly, like I do Pink Moon.

    • @thiscorrosion900

      Well, as Joe mentions herein, Nick was up for string arrangements and other instrumentation on the first two albums. Otherwise those albums would have just been
      like early Dylan or Joan Baez records, all acoustic, which is fine, but they were all aiming for something a little more ambitious with the first two Drake LPs. They might
      have gone a bit overboard in some cases on those albums. Had Nick lived longer he might've banged out more albums like Pink Moon, or albums with more sparse
      arrangements and a minimum of filigree, such as some of the Fairport albums or whatever. They were aiming for a gothic/baroque folk rock atmosphere on the
      first two albums, and to come up with something that didn't sound like any other "folk" album, whatsoever. Nick wanted Pink Moon to be totally unadorned, minus some
      piano, etc., but I don't think he still had any illusions that it would sell any better than the first two, given how drastically spare and grim Pink Moon, predominately, is. At least
      on Pink Moon and a lot of the outtake songs, home tapes, and Time of No Reply tracks, you can hear Nick in a little more unadorned fashion.

      @@thiscorrosion900 Fair enough. Pink Moon didn’t sell either.
      Vincent Van Gogh suffered a similar fate as Nick.
      I remember reading in Nick’s biography that he resented, after the fact, all the strings and horns on his first two albums, hence Pink Moon, but as you explained it wouldn’t have mattered. A genius like Nick was destined to the plight of genius.

      @@jeffrey3498 Well, maybe. The thing is, Nick wasn't in a position to really go out and tour, do constant press, and play the music biz game, and things only got worse by the time of Pink Moon or beforehand, with him, so, that has to be taken into account. I was reading up a lot a few years ago on Karen Dalton, whose music I didn't even know if until the later 90s or so, she was very similar, honestly, and she had enormous personal problems let's face it, drug issues, etc. which derailed her career later on. And, her music was not precisely radio-friendly either.

    Great upload, although I do disagree with some of the early opinions from the book reading at the start.
    John Renbourn was a much better, more technically gifted player than Nick Drake, and played in just as many alternate tunings, with even more complexity than Nick did.
    I like Nick Drake, and love learning his songs. They are not on the same level as John Renbourn though.

      I'm like you. I was very fan of the british folk. Especially Pentangle. John Renbourn and Bert Jansh then Stefan Grossman. And the great solo career of John Renbourn. He had an incredible guitar technic. I liked him and his medieval world. But no John Renbourn song touched me like so many Nick Drake did.
