An un-sentimental look into the life, music and death of one of the great folksingers--for lack of a better word--of the modern era, as well as one of the more gifted guitarists, by a true fan. Rasmussen was so smitten with the music he heard while visiting a friend that he immediately set out to find out more about Nick Drake, who had just died. Rasmussen sensitively and openly corresponds with Nick's bereaved parents Rodney and Molly and sister, and is welcomed into their home where he is eventually allowed access to tapes that had not been previously known about (some of these songs--by Nick, his sister and his mother) will later appear on "Family Tree," one of several posthumous releases. Pink moon takes the reader through Nick's early life (and that's all there is--an early life) in academia, his trips to France and Tangiers, and the genesis of his albums. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Originally written in Danish in 1980, Pink Moon was the first biography of Nick Drake, and remains the only one to include exclusive interviews with the singer's parents, Rodney and Molly Drake. In this new, significantly updated edition, available in English for the first time, author and poet Gorm Henrik Rasmussen reveals more from his visits to the Drakes in their home Far Leys - the first, just five years after the death of their troubled son.Rasmussen includes new interviews with Nick's friends and collaborators plus extracts taken from his eight-year correspondence with the Drakes, and from telephone conversations he had with Rodney every month over four years.Full of intimate detail about the last three years of Nick's life spent at his childhood home, Pink Moon - A Story about Nick Drake is a personal, original, and moving retelling of the life, death, and posthumous rise of a poet and guitarist who was strangely unsuited for his own time, and is more popular now than he ever was in life.

I've come to know Nick Drake's music just recently. His songs are haunting and yet calming too. This book is, according to reviews I've seen, the most accurate biography of Drake's life. It was originally written in Danish, I think, then translated to English. Very interesting story of an English musical genius, who, like so many others, died tragically at a young age.
So far, I'm liking this book. ( )
