I knew *of* Nick Drake before the commercial came out ,but didn't know what he sounded like; I was even meaning to buy one of his albums, then the commersh came out and I heard the song 'Pink Moon' and didn't know it was Nick Drake until I was surfing on Amazon one day when they featuring his album. I immediately bought the album. I am so glad I did ! His songs and his delivery are magic. He is simultaneously sweet and scary. It is hard to describe his style except to say that it is sparse; just he and his guitar ( a little piano solo on Pink Moon itself ). His voice is thin ,but pleasing - whispy . I listen to it all the time - morning or late at night ,but I'd say it's definitely more for late at night. - - Russ - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Andre" To: Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 10:09 AM Subject: Nick Drake > The latest Salon.com online issue has an interesting piece on Nick > Drake.

I'll be making the trek up to Boston if I can be fairly sure of actually making it there on time. so maybe I'll see some of you there. Many thanks to Paul and Glenn for sending me walking directions.

I immediately bought the album. By all means, go out and get his other two studio albums.
