Bryter Layter
Nick Drake

Moody and intimate, with hauntingly beautiful guitar riffs tying the album together. 'At The Chime of a City Clock' is emblematic of this. 'Poor Boy', sticks out with its jazz piano and sax solos; its breaks up the flow of the album in an interesting way. Lyrically, some songs are guilty of hippy-dippy mumbo-jumbo; e.g. 'I never saw the moons knew the meaning of the sea... Straighten my new mind's eye' [Northern Sky]. Of the three instrumentals on the album, I did find 'Bryter Byter' to be the weakest. Overall the album was a solid 4/5 Fav track: 'At The Chime of a City Clock'. Added to playlist: 'Hazey Jane II'.
