Description
A vivid portrait of the English singer-songwriter and musician Nick Drake
Nicholas Rodney “Nick” Drake used to be an English singer-songwriter and musician, known for his acoustic guitar-primarily based songs. Drake released only three complete albums — Five Leaves Left (1969), Bryter Layter (1970), Pink Moon (1972) — and used to be not widely recognized before his death in 1974. Yet he gained an enormous posthumous following, inspiring leading musicians such as R.E.M.’s Peter Buck and Robert Smith of The Cure and bands such as Coldplay and The Black Crowes.
Forty years after Nick’s death, Remembered for a Even as peels back one of the most mystery surrounding his life. The book will feature gorgeous color photographs, in addition to original letters and interviews with friends and family. As Nick’s sister writes within the introduction, Remembered for a Even as will reveal “the poet, the musician, the friend, the son, the brother, who used to be also more than all of those together, and as indefinable as the morning mist.”
At long last, Remembered for a Even as paints a portrait of a visionary musician who inspired a fanatical following and whose legacy continues to inspire future generations of musicians — and the lives of his fans.
