DVD Reviews of Nick Drake: Under Review
DVD Review: An Insightful Musical Case Study
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is a must for Nick Drake fans as well as for musical historians and critics. The people interviewed offer heartfelt and relevant insight into this young man who influenced many despite his tragically short life. His music is analyzed brilliantly from the perspectives of his background, the prevailing musical trends, and its technical composition. For me, this video added yet another layer of appreciation to Nick Drake's music. Don't miss it.DVD Review: The Best Documentary Available. . .For Now
Summary: 5 Stars
Calling all Nick Drake rookies or casual fans: this is the place to start learning more about the gifted, woefully overlooked late British folk musician.
You get intelligent, even-handed analysis and commentary on Drake's modest output (three classic albums) by critics and musicians---both Drake's contemporaries and those influenced by him. You get in-depth biographical material from, among others, the one and only journalist who ever interviewed Drake and a school friend who was the subject of a Drake song. On top of that, you get a healthy taste of Drake music, in both original and tasteful cover versions.
Aside from hiring a spiritual medium to "interview" Nick himself, this DVD is as good as anyone could've made it. Perhaps input from Drake's surviving relatives or some unreleased demos would've been cool; but that's for the definitive (as-yet-to-be-made) N.D. documentary. This is an introduction, and as such, it's well done and well worth its price.
DVD Review: Thoughtful & Sensitive - A Worthy Tribute to Nick Drake
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this with a certain measure of expectation that I would be disappointed. Thankfully I was not, in fact I have to say that this is one of the most carefully assembled tributes to an artist that I have seen. Friends & fellow musicians (such as Ralph McTell, John Renbourn, Robin Williamson & Ashley Hutchings) bring to this project a creative & personal insight into the life and the music of Nick Drake, who remains one of England's most treasured & profoundly influential of artists. This carefully assembled DVD gives to us (who have appreciated Nick Drake from the release of his very first album - 'Five Leaves Left', which I still listen to on Vinyl) a deeper understanding & appreciation of the man & of the music. Thank you to all who made this project a possibility. This is a worthy tribute to Nick Drake.DVD Review: This is a great documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
It tells the story of what some of his most noticed songs were about. It gives you insight on what was happening in Nick Drakes career. They discuss songs like River man, Fruit tree, Parasite, pink moon, when the day is done, and many more. The DVD is focused on Nick Drakes influences and the three first albums along with his last four songs he was working on before he died. The DVD is worth the purchase. All nick Drake fans should buy this DVD.
