Nick Drake
Family Tree
"Family Tree" tells the story of Nick Drake's musical development in the years prior to his debut album "Five Leaves Left" in 1969. It features lo-fi recordings made on a reel-to-reel tape recorder at his home, Far Leys in Tamworth In Arden, as well as eight songs recorded on cassette during his sojourn in Aix En Provence. The inclusion of two songs by his mother Molly Drake bears testament to her influence on her son. His final performances on "Family Tree" "Day Is Done" and "Way To Blue" recorded by his Cambridge friend and arranger Robert Kirby are the end of one story and the beginning of another.
