Listen to this album. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music you will ever hear. In fact, all of Nick Drake’s work is. Nick Drake is an English folk musician who released just 3 precious LP’s during his ultra short career before his untimely death. He would practice guitar for hours upon hours. He also experimented with different, unusual tunings. He was such an accomplished guitarist and songwriter, that to this day, hardly anyone can play a Nick Drake song properly, let alone figure out the tuning.
Almost unknown during his time, now decades later his music has finally received its proper recognition. Allmusic.com rates all three of his albums at 5 stars. For any musician to have three 5 star rated albums is almost unheard of. “Road” (track 5) and “From The Morning” (track 11) are my two favorite tracks on this album.

Thanks Spencer, for a month of music. Drake seems very different than your other choices. I kept waiting for the searing guitar. : )
We’re looking for Weekend Concert Series hosts for October and November. I have a few I’d like to squeeze in somewhere, but happy to hand the reins to anyone else, for any type of concerts. The main thing is to share your enthusiasm and show others some of your favorite performers or performances.
