The other day, I got a Facebook post from some online music mag saying that it was the anniversary of the release of Nick Drake's "Five Leaves Left," one of the most sublime expressions of wistful melancholy ever recorded. After checking on Wikipedia, I found that the date may or may not have been particularly accurate, but I was still inspired. The album's title supposedly comes from an ad for cigarette wrapping papers. But I always thought it was far more poignant to see it as foreshadowing, for Drake would die five years (ie "leaves" or Fall seasons) later. In honor of Drake's first (and inmho, best) album, I put together a little Spotify playlist of some of my favorite tracks evocative of Mr. Drake's work. Enjoy.
