Description

When English singer/songwriter Nick Drake released his ambitious second album - 'Bryter Layter' - in 1971, he all-but-squashed any chance of commercial success by failing to promote it. Three years later the troubled artist was gone. This week's guest, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Chastain (Velvet Crush, The Small Square), helps us unpack this evocative collection of songs featuring musical backing by members of Fairport Convention, The Beach Boys and John Cale among others. Essential listening. Songs discussed in this episode: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan Cover) - Nick Drake; Hold Me Up - Velvet Crush; Twenty-Third - The Small Square; Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys; Rosie - Fairport Convention; Holocaust - Big Star; Introduction, Hazey Jane II, From The Morning, At The Chime Of A City Clock - Nick Drake; Forever Instant - Lou Barlow (Sentridoh); One Of These Things First - Nick Drake; All I Want To Do - The Beach Boys; Pink Moon, Hazey Jane I - Nick Drake; Heartbeats-Jose Gonzalez; Bryter Layter, The Fly - Nick Drake; Stephanie Says - The Velvet Underground; Poor Boy - Nick Drake; Marianne - Leonard Cohen; Northern Sky, Sunday - Nick Drake; It'll Take A Long Time - Sandy Denny; Baby Face - The Small Square
