So tonight I'm driving and I hear this song, I thought to myself....
__________________"This sounds like Cat Stevens" So I'm listening and I didn't recognize the song(although I'm not the know-all of Cat Stevens songs) The DJ says it was Nick Drake......... Who is Nick Drake?? I like what I heard!!! It was really beautiful.......very much like Cat Stevens....

ummmmmm....you're not likely to find anything there. Believe me, I've tried.
But I did find his song "Pink Moon" on a compilation cd at Wal-Mart some time ago. The CD was called As Seen On TV.

I would highly recommend Five Leaves Left..very strong debut with beautiful string and acoustic arrangments..the songs "River Man" and "Fruit Tree" I would highly recommend for those who want downloading previews..he really was one of the most innovative musicians of that period and had such an elegant and striking voice..he had a real knack for experimenting in varied tunings and finger-picking harmonies which make him a tricky guitarist to emulate and cover..sadly as a naturally shy and distant character he would rarely perform his material live meant his reputation and material only really grew outside of his small cult following after he died..a very underappreciated singer/songwriter of his time
