Music reviews of Five Leaves Left
Music Review: My Favorite CD of All Time
Rating: 5 Stars
I am amazed that I lived 45 years, and somehow Nick Drake escaped my awareness. The first time I heard the entire CD, I fell in love with it, and Nick Drake became my favorite musician. It is many months later, and I have not grown tired of listening to it, and do so almost daily. I actually purchased a second copy from Amazon so that I have one for the house and one for the car. To explain his approach is impossible; it really needs to be heard to be appreciated. He does have two other CD's, but this is my favorite. I only wish he had lived longer. I love this CD so much that I am travelling to his resting place in England this summer.
Description of Five Leaves Left
Reissue of the late British folk icon's 1969 debut album. Ten tracks. Island.There's not a single dud in the trilogy of albums that singer/songwriter Nick Drake released during his all-too-short career. And 1968's Five Leaves Left--his first album--is certainly no exception. 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. Sparser than its follow-up, the jazzy Bryter Layter, but less tortured than Drake's dark final chapter, Pink Moon, Five Leaves Left is a classic British folk disc. Songs like "River Man," "The Thoughts of Mary Jane," and "Day Is Done" are among Drake's finest moments. Newcomers be forewarned: this music is as infectious as it is bleak, and a purchase of Drake's boxed set Fruit Tree might be a wise investment. --Jason Verlinde
