內容簡介: |
When singer-songwriter Nick Drake died of a drug overdose in
the autumn of 1974, he left behind only three well-received but
modest selling albums. Today, he is recognised as one of true
geniuses of English folk music, with millions of fans worldwide and
a regular place in all-time best album lists. Using many newly
discovered documents and all-new interviews with the singer''s
friends and associates, Trevor Dann''s book reveals more detail on
Nick Drake''s life than ever previously published, from his early
years in Tanworth-in-Arden and Cambridge, to the missed
opportunities and mismanagement that defined his recording career,
to the remarkable ''Drake cult'' that has grown since the singer''s
death at age 26. An unflinching portrait of a reclusive and gifted
artist, Darker Than the Deepest Sea is essential reading for any
serious music fan.
