This was an album that was approximately included in the 1001 albums to listen to before you die. Had heard of Nick Drake but never listened to any of his music. Can’t say it was a favorite but lyrics are awesome and loved the voice. Was interesting that he worked with Richard Thompson.

Had the privilege to see Bruce three times during the 1978 tour supporting this album. Had never Hearn ANY of his music before but was a total believer afterwards. His lyrics have the ability to relate to men and women, an extremely rare talent in the music industry. And great tunes! Not one throwaway song. All of them are still inspiring to me, almost 50 years later. Love you Bruce, miss you Clarence!
