	Nick Drake
		It's not only that Nick Drake has produced some of the finest melodies and lyrics ever to grace the spiral grooves of a record, or that he worked with some of the best musicians in the business, or that he influenced many a romantic young man to take up the art of song.
		Drake was an original, a man who dared to throw his hat to the wind.
		It was in Burma in June 1948 that Nick Drake was born.

	Nick Drake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicholas Rodney Drake was born in colonial Rangoon, Burma in 1948.
		Drake began performing in local clubs and coffee houses around London, and in 1968, playing support to Country Joe and the Fish at the Roundhouse in Camden town, he impressed Ashley Hutchings, bass player of the folk rock group Fairport Convention.
		Drake's simple gravestone in the Tanworth churchyard bears the line 'Now we rise and we are everywhere', a line taken from his song "From the Morning", the final song on his final album.

	The Observer \| OMM \| The inner life of Nick Drake
		Nick Drake's rare talent was almost ignored in his brief lifetime.
		Drake's sister would be lying if she said she hadn't entertained the notion of a film at some point.
		Before their son's death, Rodney and Molly Drake had assumed that their helplessness in the face of his illness was something to do with their inability to communicate with him, that somehow they could have done more if only they had known what to do.

	Nick Drake: lyrics, pictures, discography, biography, mp3, foto - Onda Rock (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Il nome di Nick Drake negli ultimi anni è stato fin troppo pronunciato, molto spesso a sproposito.
		Dopo spostamenti e peregrinazioni tra Birmania (dove Drake nasce, il 19 giugno 1948) e India, il clan sceglie di tornare in Inghilterra, stabilendosi a Tanworth in Arden, un antico bucolico villaggio del Warwickshire, a sud di Birmingham.
		Nick comincia a coltivare un senso di auto-isolamento.

	TrouserPress.com :: Nick Drake
		Nick Drake, who was born in Burma and raised in England, was one of those rare talents.
		Drake shows increased confidence in his singing and playing, but the music that backs him is brighter and busier than before, making for an odd contrast with his dark, hushed vocals.
		Drake recounts the tale in a cracked, distant voice that seems barely tethered to this earth.

	nick-drake Mp3 Albums Review
		Nick probably wrote this whilst living in isolation in London, and Parasite is a song that many can relate to, but the glorious 'To the morning' reminds us to his rural upbringing, and if you know the wonderful Engish countryside this is one of the greatest tributes.
		Drake's sensitive guitar work and sensitive vocals are backed by the baroque sounds of a chamber string group, and the platter's lyrics show maturity well beyond the age of their 20-year-old creator.
		Nick Drake was woefully overlooked during his lifetime, so much that the American music press virtually forgot him for many years ("Rolling Stone Album Guide" even dropped his name from their second edition in 1982).

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Nick Drake
		Nick himself was apparently very proud of these instrumentals, so much so - he was reluctant to bring in any additional material whatsoever to the recording sessions in case a new vocal tune was included in the place of any of these instrumentals.
		Nick was crushed by the commercial failure of 'Bryter Layter' and a complete lack of recognition from the general public.
		Nicks parents, following his death in 1974, were both flattered and slightly surprised by the continuing (and growing) interest in Nicks music and only too pleased in their enthusiasm to run off copies of songs Nick had taped.

		Between 1969 and 1972, he recorded three haunting albums, which though they failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, have steadily grown in stature since, to the extent that he is now widely considered to be one of the most influential acoustic songwriters of the last 40 years.
		Drake battled with depression, insomnia and acute shyness through out his life, and the topics would often appear as the subject of his lyrics.
		On November 25, 1974, Nick Drake died from an overdose of antidepressants, at the age of 26.

	Nick Drake - Made To Love Magic - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Drake knew he was going to sell more records when he was dead than he did while he was alive.
		Nick Drake knew he was too fragile for the world he lived in, knew that, because of the way he did what he did, people would find it hard to love his work knowing that he was a man, and all too easy to love his work knowing that he was a ghost.
		Nick Drake didn’t take Tryptizol because he was depressed; he took it because he couldn’t sleep.

	Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Nick Drake was discovered in 1968 by a member of Fairport Convention, who recommended him to their producer Joe Boyd.
		Nick Drake was more of a poet than a performer, shy and introverted, and terrified of playing before an audience.
		Drake's songs do not fit neatly into any category that was recognizable at the time; he seemed to have more in common with romantic poets like Byron or Shelley than with his musical peers, mostly folk revivalists and celtic rockers.

		Drake was a fan of British and the emerging American folk music scene, including Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs.
		The coroner concluded that the cause of Drake's death was suicide, although this was disputed by friends and relatives.

	CD Times - Nick Drake (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since Drake's death in 1974, his estate, which is largely managed by his sister, the actress Gabrielle Drake, has insisted that the three albums Nick Drake released during his lifetime - Five Leaves Left, Bryter Layter and Pink Moon - was almost all that there was.
		Nick Drake's producer, Joe Boyd, has often said that what remained unreleased was not of such a quality as to find its way to the public and certainly there's something about hearing Made To Love Magic that sounds as though we're party to something we ought not to be.
		Contrary to the reputation that surrounds Nick Drake - that of being a depressing listen - Northern Sky is a beautiful, lovestruck ballad with such a sweet lyric as to break one's heart to know that he never found peace.

	Nick Drake - Global Village Idiot (UK)
		Nick himself played a number of wind instruments, then took up guitar, and early recordings, available on bootleg, show him definitely under the folk-blues influence, covering material by Dylan and British folkie Bert Jansch, as well some well-known blues tunes.
		Drake had cut "I Was Made To Love Magic," with Richard Hewson arranging and conducting the orchestra.
		Where Drake's debut has put a great deal of emphasis on string settings for the songs, this was far more of a folk-rock album, and obviously geared toward that audience.

	Nick Drake: Born to make magic (phillyBurbs.com) \| Music for pleasure
		It was back in the summer of 2000, when Volkswagen used Nick Drake's sparse and romantic song, "Pink Moon," in one of their commercials.
		While rabid fans of Drake saw the use of his music as the commercialization of yet another musical icon, (e.g., Jimi Hendrix, Iggy Pop) it did reawaken interest in Nick Drake and his music.
		Ultimately, Drake's music is so pure and so direct, that not even the crassest of marketing directors could ever dilute his pristine and perfect guitar playing and seductive singing.

	NICK DRAKE - CD remasters
		Nick sold about 20 albums a month, so their decision to release them on CD was brave (or foolhardy) to say the least.
		When Nick had finished recording his albums, John Wood would go to the cutting rooms and attempt to get all the beautiful sound down onto vinyl in what was known as 'the cut'.
		He is also a huge fan of Nick's music, I got him to write a comment about this for the adverts for 'Way To Blue' I also have a partnership with an artist called Bill Drummond, who used to be in the KLF and had a few hits in his time.

	Nick Drake
		Nick Drake is a legend and a demi-God - at least, according to his faithful devotees.
		Nick is always relaxed; his obscure, complex and convoluted lyrics are being sung with such elegant nonchalantness that you're not even really tempted to follow them with a lyrics sheet - he gives this impression of simplicity, unpretentiousness and even lightweightness that the most twisted imagery doesn't really bother you in the least.
		Drake is the "suffering intellectual", the lonely reject of society, a subject that had up till then almost never really been tackled by rock music.

	Nick Drake: A Place To Be
		At 18 years old, when I knew him, Nick had not written a single song; he played blues guitar with exceptional fluidity but there was nothing to indicate that he had unusually great ability or talent.
		Nick Drake introduced himself one evening after I'd finished my set and asked if I'd like to get together to play some songs.
		Nick got around the problem of playing them by de-tuning his guitar - an idea he probably got from Bert Jansch (as did Jimmy Page), but his tunings were highly unusual, to say the least.

	Nick Drake - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		After Nick Drake's death in 1974, his parents Rodney and Molly Drake began to receive visits from fans compelled to understand more about the source of his music by traveling to the place where he lived and died.
		On the contrary, aware that this might be the beginning of the recognition that their son had longed for in his lifetime, they invited those fans in and quite often shared the music a young Nick had recorded on an early reel-to-reel recorder.
		You need only hear Nick and Gabrielle's exquisite blood harmonies on "All My Trials" — or Nick playing clarinet with his aunt and uncle on "Mozart's Kegelstatt Trio" — to realize that this was a house whose inhabitants entertained themselves and each other by playing music.

		With Nick, you sensed [that] very little needed to be said that couldnt be said with a guitar in his hand.

	Nick Drake: Discografia, Recensioni, Visto dal Vivo, Siti Web
		Nato in Birmania nel 1948, Nick Drake cresce e registra i suoi dischi nel clima britannico dei tardi sessanta, in cui emerge la ricerca delle radici folk e si affermano Fairport Convention, Donovan e John Martin.
		A partire dal 1969, Nick Drake fu autore di tre dischi segnati dalla stessa bellezza e dallo stesso immancabile insuccesso.
		I motivi furono molteplici, ma sicuramente l'idiosincrasia di Nick verso i concerti e le interviste e la sua ritrosia a concedersi al mondo dello spettacolo costituirono un grosso ostacolo per la sua affermazione.

	Nick Drake: The Biography by Patrick Humphries - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Nick Drake performed live maybe a dozen times total, never toured America, and gave only one official interview.
		Nick Drake's story is not one of rock-and-roll excess, or of the usual cliches of life lived in the fast lane and burning the candle at both ends; nor does his story have much in common with other rock-and-roll tragedies of his time.
		An integral part of the mythical aspect of Nick Drake is the cause and the circumstances of his death.
