Nick Drake. Genius or Druggo? (1 Viewer)

[Teclis]

anyone a fan?

I've been listening to stuff again after a long time, and I forgot how brilliant some of it is...

He's self taught and everything. He creates these amazing cluster chord sounds with alternate tuning on his guitar and such. What do you think of him?
Is he a musical genius, or just some drug fuelled guy who chanced upon something good?

Great musicianship. Pink Moon is probably my favourite, though I haven't listened to him for a while.

Big genius?

extremely interesting artist. although i get peeved with all the different tunings he uses, i'm too noob to tune a guitar by ear so i can't play along .

has there been a movie or documentary about this guy? i've heard that no footage of him actually exists, only photos. no idea why people weren't listening to him back in YA MUMS day guys

Genius .. theres a doco floating around youtube on him, worth a watch if you're not familiar with why he was the way he was. The sounds wouldn't be out of place today, he had some amazing pieces for his time.
