Customer Reviews for Pink Moon
Subtle, Beautiful, and Strange
Rating:
Nick Drake, sort of an English James Taylor who never got to get old or bald or sell out. "Pink Moon" is his last, just voice and guitar and gentle eccentricity, slightly haunted. No one else sounds or writes like him. Makes for good company on a rainy day or a windy night when you're alone. Put on a pot of tea. You might even listen to it twice in a row.

PINK MOON RISING
Rating:
Like, and not like, ROBERT JOHNSON's Blues, PINK MOON is NICK DRAKE's masterpiece for the fan of Folk Rock, but this record Rocks not, yet is quite Bluesy. The unusual and spare guitar, with NICK DRAKE's unique tuning, is reminiscent of the great American Blues artists like JOHNSON and SKIP JAMES, and yet, it is something else, something other, something more. These short songs are constructed of DRAKE's idiosyncratic guitar and melancholy lyrics that are not quite circular, but softer, more introspective and I'd dare say "organic," and only because NICK DRAKE is so... different. And also because his expressions are all Earthy: morning moon sun stars ...Yet like the Blues, these tunes have deeply personal themes borne of individual pain.
Not really Orpheus wooing Eurydice with a guitar (as the Rolling Stone Album Guide calls it) it's more rustic than that, Celtic, but still timelessly dreamy, ethereal, and yes, a bit spooky, PINK MOON is an artist fully realizing his potential and expressing it. Ephemeral, romantic, insidiously charming, alluringly poetic, PINK MOON is the record that music lovers eventually find, will find, should find, in their dreamscape. Unforgettable and indescribable, this soft, lilting record is of a voice not really like anyone you've heard before, and won't hear again, unless you know or have known the dark angel murmuring in your dream night.
