Nick Drake

"The glove compartment is inaccurately named

And everybody knows it

So I'm proposing a swift orderly change"...from glove box to nick drake box.

I purchased the Nick Drake Box set when I was a high school senior and this cardboard box containing four cd's was worn and torn over the years while it rode in my glove box throughout my college years. Each CD made a regular visit to the car CD player, the mellow music and thoughtful lyrics highlighted by Nick's dark, natural voice brought me a lot of comfort in the changes and adjustments to college-life. If you haven't heard of Mr. Drake you may recognize his song "Pink Moon" from the Volkswagen Passat commercial a few years back and other song cameos on TV shows and commercials.

Sadly, this box set holds all of Nick's music because he died in 1974 from of an overdose.

Nick Drake is high on my recommendations list for anyone who has not had a good listen to him and is looking for some soothing, nostalgic tunes. Enjoy!
