DVD Reviews of Nick Drake: Under Review
DVD Review: Most Detailed & Complete Documentary On Nick Drake I've Seen!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD about 3 weeks ago and have watched it twice since then.
I once saw a documentary of Nick Drake on the Sundance Channel last year,
but it was nowhere near as detailed as this one was.
Nick Drake was a shy, esoteric and uniquely gifted genius who came on
to the british folk / singer-songwriter scene with his amazing debut album
"Five Leaves Left" in late 1968. He had a tone, a sound, an energy that was
subtle & melancholy yet forceful and compelling at the same time!
He used time signatures and chord progressions that his contemporaries
weren't even thinking of in the late 60's and early 70's when he made
his 3 brilliant studio albums: "Five Leaves Left", "Bryter Layter" and "Pink Moons".
Sadly, he was plagued with self-doubt, depression and other demons which were
further intensified by the fact that his music was not well-recieved in his lifetime
and sold poorly due to lack of exposure, outstanding support of the critics, etc.
Nick Drake only performed his music once or twice in public, then after that
fell off the radar. He died at the very young age of 26 from an accidental
(some say intentional) overdose of medication he was prescribed for his
depression in November of 1974.
But his manager and friend never wavered in his belief that Nick Drake was a genius
far ahead of his time, and made a deal with the record company that they always keep
Nick's work in print and eventually this paid off as subsequent generations were
to discover his brilliance and be influenced not only by his musical prowess, but
his unique singing voice as well. Nick Drake's influence spans folk, rock, pop
and beyond today some 35 yrs after his death, and 41 yrs since he made his debut.
His recording became so popular in the late 80's and early 90's that
a special box-set "Fruit Tree" was released to raves!
Such a pity he didn't get to taste any of this while he was alive.
It might've kept him alive....but then, in a strange way, through his music, he is immortal!
