NICK DRAKE

"Nick Drake's rare talent was almost ignored in his brief lifetime. Since his suicide 30 years ago, his legend has grown and now the discovery of his final recorded song has cast new light on that fateful night in 1974." Read On.

Nick Drake's short career was cut short by death in 1974. Often compared to Van Morrison and Donovan, he emerged out of the folk-rock scene in the late 1960s to record 'Five Leaves Left', 'Bryter Later' and 'Pink Moon'. Depression hindered his career, causing him to withdraw from public performance and songwriting. While his death from an overdose of anti-depressant medication was a tragedy, his pained existence still captures the imaginations of musicians and lkisteners alike.
