The results of Nick Drake's solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by Robert Johnson or Charley Patton. Enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, Drake recorded 'Pink Moon's dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. Both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. This was the end of the road for Nick Drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak-but-beautiful visions.

Reviews"One voice, one guitar, one set of beautifully dolorous songs...the equivalent of an amble down a darkened country road. Modedl after-hours listening." - Rating: A, "...His Masterpiece and the Robert Johnson Comparisons Are Fully Deserved...", Ranked #8 in The NME "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums" - "...Touched with luminous symbolism and uncanny intimacy, this is the sound of inescapable retreat.", 5 stars out of 5 - "...Nick Drake's best album....Its excellence shines through....Few records have ever sounded so intimate, or embodied Melancholy with such grace and assurance...", "His Keatsian Mark on Music Is Indelible.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...his third and final album....accompanies himself only on acoustic guitar....His voice conveys, in its moans and breathy whispers, an alluring sensuality...", "It's His Most Haunted, Intense Album, and Its Mere 28-Minute Duration Feels Perfectly Judged.", "...With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, one of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded..."

  • Nick Drake Pink Moon

    Great Album. Nick Drake produced 3 albums all very different from each other. This is his best in my opinion before his early death. Lovely guitar playing. Very good recording on CD.

  • Not what I expected! A disappointment.

    Perhaps I need to listen to this recording a few times before making up my mind. Initially disappointing.
