Nick Drake alike

[lutyens10]

Try John Smith - Hummingbird. On a streaming site near you. A very fine album.

No

You should. Nick based his fast-picking style on Bert Jansch as far as I'm aware and used to play Bert's songs at his early gigs. Paul Simon's folk guitar picking was also heavily influenced by him. You can clearly hear the thread running through them all.

Jono McCleery - Darkest Light his first album which I think is very influenced would be the best description by Nick Drake .

There is always John Martyn, his 'Solid' Air' was a song written about/for Nick Drake

The Solid Air album has been one of my 'top 10' since release. Up there with Astral Weeks IMO.

Me too, I have just bought the Abbey Road Half Speed vinyl, which is (still) a lovely thing

Dan Arborise reminds me of both ND and John Martyn.

I've a pretty rare Double CD which features ND and his Sister singing the blues.

An interesting Compilation; especially the monologues.
