#203 Nick Drake, 'Pink Moon' (1979)

Nick Drake is the artist that many singer-songwriters credit as a major inspiration. I was introduced to his music by one such singer-songwriter. This album was the third and final record to be released by Drake. The album simply features Drake on acoustic guitar and vocals with a brief tickle of the ivories on track one. Drake’s fingerpicking guitar style carries the melodies of his vocals and at times you often forget that it’s just one guy and his guitar.
