Nick Drake's "Pink Moon": Like a series of small questions.

byHorswispr May 9, 2001

Pros Beautiful, simple songs
Cons Only 28 minutes of music
Recommended it? Yes

I thought that I was yet another listener who first heard Nick Drake's music on last year's Volkswagon commercial, until I bought "Pink Moon" (1970) and listened to the whole CD.

"Which Will," the beautiful song that concludes Lucinda Williams's excellent CD, "Sweet Old World," is Nick... Read full review »

Nick Drake's Final Statement

Pros Amazing vocals; beautiful performances; wonderful songwriting; crystal clear production.
Cons It is heartbreaking to hear Nick Drake at the end of his life.
Recommended it? Yes

In a recent Epinion of mine in which I reviewed the Eva Cassidy album "Songbird," I stated that one of the greatest tragedies in art is when an artist dies before their work receives public acceptance. Like Cassidy, Nick Drake's music remained in virtual obscurity until, after his death, a rabid... Read full review »

I'm sure by now you've heard of the infamous VW commercial featuring the title track from this CD. If you haven't actually seen it, you may have read about it here. I first heard the title track, "Pink Moon", in the VW commercial and knew that I wanted the CD, or at least the MP3 file. Alas,... Read full review »

Nick Drake: Pink Moon -- More Than A Car Commercial

44 Helpfuls 45 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 7 Comments
Pros Brilliant
Cons Absurdly short in the way most albums from the 1970s are.
Recommended it? Yes

I feel like a geek for just discovering Nick Drake. I?m usually the one telling everyone I know about unknown new artists. But everyone is suddenly on the Nick Drake bandwagon. And he certainly isn?t a new artist.

I do have the personal satisfaction of knowing that I didn?t find out about... Read full review »

Pros A perfect album of intimate and timeless acoustic folk tunes; affectingly beautiful and...
Cons Some might quibble over length
Recommended it? Yes

In case my visits to this website, a paragon of online retail where budding writers are ensnared into becoming salespeople for paltry rewards, become infrequent – I must devote this review once again to the celestial music of Nick Drake.

Given how this record was the final full-length... Read full review »

Pros Quiet elegant songs
Cons none none none
Recommended it? Yes

I think almost everyone has seen this commerical, but if you haven't, let me tell you about it: It's a beautiful night and there are these 20 something kids who are in this VW, silently stunned by the stars, the wild beauty of the wilderness, and also there's a man on the stereo singing a song...

That gosh-darned car commercial sold me on Nick Drake.

Pros pretty, lush, delightful, lo-fi
Cons mildly depressing
Recommended it? Yes

Ya know, I would like to pretend that I am the kind of really cool person who knew Nick Drake before that blasted Volkswagen commercial showcased his song, "Pink Moon." But I didn't. I just know that the first time I saw the commercial I got all teary-eyed, a victim of both PMS and the lilting... Read full review »

Pros Transcendent beautiful sadness; depressed but hopeful; sparse and lovely
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I don't want to give you the wrong idea, but Pink Moon is one of the albums I always listen to when I'm depressed. I don't listen to it because it is a depressing album. I listen to it because it is the eloquent expression of what it feels like to be depressed. So many bands have made... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful, haunting songs. Greatly atmospheric and easy to listen to.
Cons Only twenty-eight and a half minutes!
Recommended it? Yes

Like many other owners of this album, I picked it up after seeing the Volkswagen advertisement featuring the song "Pink Moon" from this album with the same name. I picked up the only version I could find near where I lived, a "Universal Records" import version for CAD$19. The packaging was slightly... Read full review »
