‘Five Leaves Left’, the first of only three full length albums by Nick Drake was largely ignored by music audiences of it’s time. This is, of course, in stark contrast to the legendary status that Drake’s music enjoys today. Recorded two albums before his acclaimed Pink Moon and only 5 years before his death, Drake would never know the success and impact of his music. Intricate arrangements of folk, blues and jazz form a confident backdrop for Drake’s fragile and melancholy introspection and observations.
