USA - Antilles Records - AN 710
Stone MINT VINYL ....
SCARCE mid '70s USA pressing, not around, very crisp and colorful collectible was recorded over the 1968 - 1969 period in the United Kingdom...
Nick Drake was an pioneering inventor of the melding of intimate lyrics combined with the muted tones of the orchestra, kind of like Leonard Cohen, but not with all the depression attached to it. He was a genius as Syd Barrett was, and Mozart. All of them died young, forgotten for years, and then suddenly a new generation "finds" them and reveres them. Drake is not trying to overcome his sadness, but rests in it, sitting still to witness whatever beauty he may be able to see and feel. His music indicates that was a lot, and there is a classical grace and vulnerability to all the songs. Through these he is able make you experience his own sadness and resignation, and immediately, you connect with Five Leaves Left.
Drake was also an excellent guitar player, and a lot of his songs have the impulse of Celtic jazz. Backed by members of Pentangle and Fairport Convention, two of the best jazz-folk outfits in England then, these songs contain an expert resonance that take them way beyond average folk.
This is the Nick Drake album that many listen to the most. Although Pink Moon is probably one of the greatest records of all time and endlessly fascinating it can be a hard listen emotionally. Five Leaves Left is an extremely accomplished debut and is the one record that best represents who Nick Drake was and why he is so revered. Every song on here is wonderful and the instrumentation perfectly matches Nick's quiet vocal style. How can you really describe this record? If you've heard this record you will know.... There is a quiet strength to his music that at first listen can almost seem anemic. This understated quality is so rare with music today. He is not screaming for the listener's attention but rather inviting you into a world of his own. And once you have entered this world that he has created it is truly seeing the power of music.
