Nick Drake - Way To Blue - The Songs of Nick Drake [CD]

Nick Drake's original producer, Joe Boyd, put together a series of concerts in the UK, Australia and Italy to celebrate Nick's greatness as a songwriter. The concerts are called Way To Blue and they have involved singers as diverse as Teddy Thompson, Green Gartside (from Scritti Politti), Robyn Hitchcock, Vashti Bunyan and Lisa Hannigan, as well as bass master Danny Thompson (who played on Nick's records), and the arrangements of Robert Kirby. These recordings are the edited highlights of concerts in New York and London; the interpretations provide evidence, if such evidence was ever needed, of the timeless depth of Nick Drake's qualities as a songwriter.
