Title: Do Yourself a Favor
Review: Where do I begin?? I'm 55 and only just discovering Nick Drake!! What a sad life I must have lived! I'm just grateful that I discovered his music at all - it's a treasure. I'm a huge fan of singer/songwriters (Lennon, McCartney, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell...). I'm a musician myself (a multi-instrumentalist and I've written my own songs). Point is, music means a lot to me. I can't express enough how much I love Nick's music. Like Joni, he came up with a lot of his own guitar tunings - so his music (like hers) is very distinctive and unlike anyone else's music. For someone who listens to a lot of music, you can get tired of the old I IV V chord progressions. Nick's music is like a whole new language with unusual, and beautiful, chord voicings. There just isn't anything like it. I don't get very emotional about music but Nick's music moves me. I also find his music very relaxing and calming - it's just beautiful. My favorite album is his first - Five Leaves Left, but Bryter Later is right behind it. "One of These Things First" might be my favorite song because it's just so cheery. "At the Chime of a City Clock" is a masterpiece, and "Poor Boy" another outstanding favorite. FYI - "Fly" was used in the Wes Anderson movie The Royal Tennenbaum's (another great song). Honestly, there isn't a bad song on this album (or really on any of his albums). Summary - buy it.

Title: Should have been famous
Review: I have a hard time understanding why Drake didn't make it into the bigger time. I can so easily picture him doing a "classic" Saturday night live performance in the mid-70s. Some of these songs sound a little like Joni Mitchell, do they not? He is regarded as not fitting into the era he was born into, but from my standpoint, his music is of that era, and is some of the finest music of that era. You can put him in the category of Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, Steven Stills, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, John Sebastian, and other early 70s acoustic-based singer/songwriters. He fits right in there, yet is also very uniqie and influential on many of today's singer/songwiters.I wished somone could have kept him alive and forced him to do more live work. I'm reading a biography on him now, and I read that some audiences gave him a hard time...yet, this should not have disouraged him from performing altogether. I read that Tom Waits was booed, quite severely in fact, when he was opening for Frank Zappa once. Also, I recall that Niel Young--yes, the great Niel Young--was booed quite severely when opening at a Pearl Jam show! So, given these examples, it is safe to say that being booed occasionally goes with the trade of being a performer, even for the very greatest, and Drake should have definitely kept going, especially at his tender age (he had just turned 21 when his first album came out, and recorded Byter Layer when he was 21-22 years old).I only hope that his soul reincarnated into a life that was more successful, and that he achieved, finally, the success that was due to him.

Title: Brilliant!
Review: Nick Drake was a selfless songwriter.His own identidy on this planet meant less to him than his music did.When his music failed to find an audience all that was left was the feeling "of a remnant of something that's passed".It is hard for me to be judgemental on someone for his possible suicide when you listen to the man's music and find that person put all of his very existence into his songs.Not that it would have been the right thing to do,but the amount of healing thru song this man left on all three of his album's is a lifetime's worth.Bryter Layer is probably my favorite one as it still has the feeling of someone who hopes to reach people which is hard to find on his last album "Pink Moon",which is quite a personal album(Though still a masterpiece).Even the instrumental's are stunningly good.His piano playing is both tasteful and subtle at the same time,which leads me to suspect he may have been just as gifted a pianist as he was a guitarist,but may have been disciplined enough of a songwriter not to overdo anything,which is why all of his song's sound so sculpted and finished.He used his instumental gifts to showcase his poetic whisper of a voice.When I look back on his work's the last thing that comes to mind is wasted talent,but on the contrary talent that was recognized,used with all humbleness,and just never appreciated.The beauty in it all is that we still have his album's to find him immortalized.Nick Drake is "The sweet breeze felt in the top of a tree" and the breeze hold's enough beauty to "Brighten" anyone's "Northern Sky".What an artist!
