General Comments

I think this is, like it says, the best introduction to Nick Drake. Nick was a folk singer/songwriter from the late 60's/early 70's, who released 4 albums which were not as successful as anyone would have liked. Nick died in the 70's from a drug overdose (anti-depressants). The jury is still out as to whether it was an accident or suicide (he only took two of the tablets iirc). Whichever, Nick's strange tunings and guitar-picking, voice and melodies are admired by all now. Mostly mellow music (mainly due to his voice I think). One for everyone's collection.
