Early Drake recordings to be released
Reported by heyrevolver
A series of early Nick Drake recordings, previously only available as hard-to-find bootlegs, will get their proper release later this year. According to an article in Brittish music mag NME, friends and family of the late underground folk legend are working to remaster and compile the early home recordings (Drake passed away in 1974). Although he's probably most known for one of his songs ("Pink Moon") appearing in a Volkswagen ad, his influence on many of today's artists has been great. Anyone feeling adventurous and looking for a beautiful yet depressing album for a cold winter afternoon would do well to check out his greatest hits album, Way to Blue, which is readily available.
