Nick Drake: Nick Drake (Island)
Colman Andrews, Phonograph Record, November 1971
NICK DRAKE — who is, despite his name, a singer/songwriter and not a prototypical 1942- vintage private detective radio hero — has made a first album that sounds vaguely like Donovan re-thinking Astral Weeks, but lest you misunderstand me, it works wonderfully and adds up to one of those elusive but tenacious LPs that simply won’t stay off the turntable for very long.
