Nick Drake
It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also ...

Way to Blue: An Introduction to Nick Drake

by
Nick Drake
Compiled by Nick Drake's producer, Joe Boyd, Way to Blue features a selection of 16 tracks from all three Drake studio albums and the Time of No Reply collection. Of course the music is excellent, but Drake's albums stand so well on their own that this collection of piecemeal offerings doesn't quite work as the best way to experience his ...

Nick Drake
Poor Nick Drake. The soft-spoken introvert may have spent his days upon this earth as a struggling singer/songwriter, but since leaving, his atmospheric and distinctly melancholy songs have become a pop culture fixture. Rescued from British folk oblivion by a one-off Volkswagen commercial, his name has since been bandied about by critics looking ...

Till Brönner
For those in America who hadn't previously heard of Germany's most famous contemporary jazz musician, it would only take a few notes from his crisp, distant trumpet to elicit a comparison to Chris Botti. Beyond his tonal approach and penchant for relaxing, atmospheric, and lushly arranged standards, Till Brönner has much in common with his ...

Live in Tokyo

by
Brad Mehldau
Moving ever closer to becoming his generation's Keith Jarrett, Live in Tokyo finds pianist Brad Mehldau delving into a solo piano performance in February of 2003 with a quiet intensity, mixing a kind of studied jazz formalism with a lyrical "train-of-thought" avant-gardism. Ever the iconoclast, Mehldau tackles such varied compositions as Nick ...

by
Nick Drake
Hunger for "new" Nick Drake material had reached enough of a fever pitch by the 21st century for Island to try digging up enough for this odd patchwork collection, combining outtakes with remixes of tracks that had been previously issued on the Time of No Reply album. The result is a curious disc that's not quite an anthology of wholly previously ...

Take My Heart

by
Claire Martin
A major departure from Claire Martin's previous efforts, Take My Heart marked the first time she recorded an album that had very little to do with jazz. The British singer had never been a jazz snob; she always had a healthy appreciation of rock, pop and R&B. But jazz was her foundation -- if she interpreted a Tom Waits or Stevie Wonder song, she ...

Various Artists
Continuing in the now-venerable tradition of the previous three volumes in the Rewind! series, Vol. 4 presents entirely new versions (not remixes) of old and often obscure pop, funk, and soul songs by modern artists. Actually, in this case the songs aren't even necessarily that old -- Nostalgia 77 delivers a slow, thunderous, and funky but ...

Second Grace: Music of Nick Drake

more music like this
by
Christopher O'Riley
It's a tribute -- pun intended -- to the remarkable rise in Nick Drake's posthumous popularity that there are more Drake tribute albums than there are actual albums by Nick Drake. The decision of classical piano virtuoso Christopher O'Riley to devote an entire album to instrumental piano interpretations of Drake's work is itself a testament to ...

The Flaming Lips' contribution to the Late Night Tales series -- which also includes volumes curated by Four Tet, Jamiroquai, and Nightmares on Wax -- shows off the band's wide-ranging but almost always impeccable taste in music. Admirably, the collection doesn't include much that sounds like the Flaming Lips themselves. Even the band's own ...

Andy Bey
Andy Bey's bass-baritone voice has aged over the last thirty-odd years, but it's aged well; he now sings in a husky drawl that sounds all the more warm and intimate for being a bit ragged around the edges. When he goes into falsetto, as on "Midnight Blue," athe sound is so dark that you don't recognize it as falsetto at first. This album peaks ...
