Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

Island. 2000 (1970)


Almost cheery compared to his first outing. I must say I prefer his finger-picky folksy misery to this.

That said, it's only the music that's upbeat. The anguish in his delicate vocal screams louder than the voice.

I can do without most of this. Only One of these things first, Fly, and the chokingly beautiful Northern Sky keep this on the shelf.
