Ok, so this is what I got the 1001 Ablums book for, and why I started writing this. I’d never heard of Nick Drake and never listened to Pink Moon before this coming up. And I was really surprised. I’m definitely going to have to listen to other songs/albums by Nick Drake.

Pink Moon has a very folky feel to it, but that could just be because it’s all just the vocal and an acoustic guitar, which also gives the album a really intimate feel, it’s almost as though he was sat in the corner. Something about this album really spoke to me, and there wasn’t a song on this album that I didn’t enjoy.

The style reminded me of Damian Rice, so I’m wondering if Nick Drake was an influence. I’ve read that he died at 26, and never really made a big impact on the industry when he was alive, which is really hard to believe after listening to this album.
