Nick drake is the most secret, underrated genius songwriter. Beautiful songs and amazing guita playing.

Incredible talent... such a loss (shame he wasn't more recognised when he was alive.) Been listening to him for around 15 years now since I first picked up the "Way To Blue: An Introduction To Nice Drake" CD

Have you had a chance to see A Skin Too Few? It's a documentary about him which includes interviews with his family and people he worked with. It's a really good watch and gives a lot of insight into what his life was like and where the black cloud comes from which hangs over so much of his music. Really good.
I work with Autistic adults, and every night before going to sleep we do like a "mellow" get ready for bed routine. This consists of massage time for the guys to help with the different degrees of sensory levels that they deal with. During this time we also play the Nick Drake cd Pink Moon. It really helps to calm and mellow them. I have even begun to sneak in my own "mellow" PJ cd's and Ed's into the wild... but nothing seems to calm these guys like the voice and songs of Nick Dreak. I cant wait to see if this tribute album will have the same effect...
God bless you for your work.

+1. We have a family friend whose daughter is autistic, but has quite a story. I don't know if you watched, but she had an appearance on Larry King Live recently... she's thirteen, and while she can't talk, she is able to communicate through a computer by typing what she'd like to say... it's really mind-blowing, and is so absolutely incredible that she's able to communicate, where in the past, others couldn't. It's tragic to me that so many people were likely misdiagnosed as 'retarded' when they simply couldn't communicate.

loved beck's cover of 'pink moon'... wonder if he'll be a part of this at all
in any case i hope they just leave that song off this CD to focus on some lesser known songs... ill be happy with anything ed chooses... hopefully he sings on a couple... a duet between him and jones would be great
Never heard anything more about it and a quick search returns no news.
Bummer
It didn't fall through because it was never to be.
He was asked in an interview about it, the interviewer said there was rumors he would be apart of it and Ed said that he heard his name mentioned also but it was false and he was not going to be on a Nick Drake tribute album.
Comments
Never listened to Nick Drake, but always glad to hear anything new
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
you should!!!!!!! he was like a death angel...such a sweet voice and music...such sad songs...i'm happy Eddie is into this tribute.
i hope its something off of Murder Ballads. Stagger Lee!
Isn't that Nick Cave, rather than Nick Drake?
that would have been a weird tribute!
its fucking late/
