Nick Drake Essentials

All three of Nick Drake's proper LPs were released to limited acclaim and sold only a few thousand copies in his lifetime, but time has shown their importance and Drake is now widely considered one of the most important folk singers in history. His heartbreaking music was a reflection of his ongoing depression, which led to his fear of performing live and giving interviews, as well as his death in 1974. Drake remained all but unknown until “Pink Moon” was used in a Volkswagen commercial in 1999. Since then, a whole new generation has discovered his genius. But Drake's legacy is far richer than that one magical hit. Explore his towering work through this collection of great songs.
