Hi Everyone,

We have a new addition to The Listening Post featuring Nick Drake.

Nick Drake was part of the British folk revival movement of the late 60′s, which included Fairport Convention, Pentangle, and The Incredible String Band. He died in 1974 from an accidental overdose of anti-depressants after releasing three albums which failed to find an audience – then became an icon nearly thirty years later sparked in part by Volkswagen licensing one of his songs for a television commercial.

Great article and videos.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, Dermot.

I enjoyed researching this essay, and came away with a deep respect for Nick Drakes music.

BTW, I just stumbled across these links to Nick Drake covers performed by Beck. Apparently, he uploaded
three Nick Drake tunes (Pink Moon, Which Will, Parasite) to his Web site in 2005.

Enjoy!

Beck - Pink Moon (2005)


Beck - Which Will (2005)


Beck - Parasite (2005)

Thanks for the videos Steve

I was passed a copy of an informative magazine article on Nick Drake while ago.
It was cut our of a magazine. I think it was a Mojo 60 not sure about that .
You may have seen it but here's a link anyway.

Thanks
