Apparently Peter Buck from REM once asked producer John Wood how he captured the intimate sound on this album. Wood replied that Nick Drake had simply sat in front of a single microphone and played his guitar. It really is a captivating performance that was sadly to be Drake’s last as he passed away at the age of 26. I can start to understand why Robert Smith and Michael Stipe were so worried about passing thirty now.

As soon as he started to sing I recognize his voice (I knew he existed but never heard anything from him before starting this journey with 1001albums). The music is great, the voice is dull AF. A second album from him is too much in this list.
