Nick Drake - Pink Moon Album

The Pink Moon album shows Nick Drake in the midst of depression that would lead him to end his own life at age 26. The album is beautiful its starkness with just Drake's acoustic guitar and a splash of piano, but the songs are so despairing and melancholy, you practically need to take an upper just to listen. Still, the songs-11 in all—are stunning in there haunting and unspoiled beauty. Most of the tunes are under three minutes in length, which is why the album is not even a half-hour long, but there is a sense in which anything longer would be too much to bear. "Pink Moon," however, solidifies Drake's status as a cult figure among those who love folk-rock.
