Nick Drake - The Biography

By Patrick Humphries

Published by Bloomsbury, ISBN: 0-7475-3503-5

This is the definitive work for anyone interested in Nick Drake's life and music. It's fair to say that most of the information in this website has been garnered/stolen from this book. (I hope the author doesn't mind too much ...) Patrick Humphries leaves no stone unturned in this book, interviewing many people who had an important part in Nick's life. This is an excellently written biography by someone who has great reverence for Nick Drake.

"Patrick Humphries has written a rich, moving account of a troubled spirit, a mature biography of a briefly flickering talent unable to come to terms with the adult world...The writing is zestful and intelligent and the text iluminating...A literary memorial fir to stand alongside the songs"  UNCUT

"The best music biog of the year"  SELECT
