Description

On this week’s episode its another "Listener Pick." We talk about the last album by Nick Drake, 1972’s Pink Moon. Upon its initial release, the album  was a both a critical and commercial failure, but it has grow in stature and appreciation for both critics and fans in the decades since.  The album is quiet, mostly just Drake and his acoustic guitar, with lyrics steeped celestial imagery about loneliness and and heartbreak. Reclusive by nature, Drake did little to support the album by way of touring or interviews and passed away soon after its release. It took a Volkswagen commercial in 1999 featuring the album’s title track to revive his career and bring back to the attention of the music buying public. Since then, Pink Moon has found itself on several “greatest albums” lists. Pink Moon is a beautifully stark album of note, full of songs that are elegant and beautiful, and bleak and unsettling, often at the same time.
