| A proper pink moon as it might be seen in the skies on the 1st and 2nd of April 2026. A sign of spring to be welcomed. |
Meanwhile the above is all 28 mins of Nick Drake's 1972 LP 'Pink Moon' an album that is Nick Drake by himself on guitar, piano, and voice. No other backing musicians or arrangers. John Wood engineer and producer. I am a late arrival to the appreciation of the talents of Nick Drake. For a long time my thoughts about him were confined to seeing him as one of those artists who knew when he knew had said enough, and did not want to stay in the music business for the renewal of his first three album record contract, to seek further fame and fortune from an extension of his contract. Whilst I understand how the notion of 'cult artist' works, I bridle a bit at the mechanics of creating the cult around the artist. As for Nick Drake I will enjoy the guitar playing on this album, through many moons to come, moons that are either pink and given other descriptions.
