Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left.
I introduced myself to Nick Drake a few years back now,...Nick Drake has reached 'cult status' through his tragic death in 1974,,he went vitually un-noticed ,he only recorded three albums.
It's strange listening to a dead man's voice singing and playing in your ears,not that Nick's the only dead artist i listen to,but his music has a entrancing presence to it that i find totally warm hazy, & relaxing at the same time.
His fingerpicking style is just second to none,the way he put's his emotions and feelings on this album is genius..when ever i'm tired of hearing over produced over rated release's sometimes by the up coming artists,i just put this on to remind myself how a musician/songwriter use to be.
Five leaves Left i consider one of the best debut albums of it's time...i find it faultless,the songs have a sweet autumnal feeling to them...i know it sound's slightly 'hippyish man' but this really does capture that period of time in my own un-biased opinion.
