Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio
This week we discuss the tragic and beautiful sounds of Nick Drake. During his lifetime, this guy made no money, sold no records, had no fans, yet still somehow managed to record 3 gorgeous albums through it all. Now, decades after his untimely death in 1974, his music is widely available and beloved. We tackle each album in extreme detail and generally blow the guy for over an hour.
Closing track: “Things Behind the Sun” from Pink Moon (1972)
