book about Nick Drake, songs sung by Elton John.......2007-07-08

Elton John is one of many fans of Nick Drake's music, by why not have Nick singing on the disc? They sound alright. Also, one song is mistitled as Saturday Sun. The song is called Sweet Honesty, which is written by John Martyn (co-written by Beverly Martyn). John Martyn knew Nick Drake, and wrote a song about him called Solid Air.

This item is a weird one........2003-03-27

When I bought it a couple years back, I could barely wait to open it; I had no idea what was inside! Turns out it's a CD in a flimsy sheath (more on that in a second) and an exaggerated and opinionated expose on Nick.

The writing, for lack of a better term, seems very Romantic to meýwistful and poetic, without really getting to the heart of the matter. This may be due to the fact that not much remains behind of Nickýjust a few loose connections, his sister and his music. And so the article reads more like a reflection on Nickýs music than as the biography of Nick which it purports to be.

As for the CD, itýs interesting. Although Elton Johnýs versions are nothing extraordinary, it is worthwhile to hear another artistýs take on these songs. I grew up only knowing them as Nickýs, so they became personal statements from which he couldnýt be stripped. But these versions do a good job of re-interpretation, if for no other reason than because they feature only Elton and his piano (no guitar!). And beware: As mentioned in the review above, that last song is not Saturday Sun. (I also have no idea what song it is.)

When it comes down to it though, I WOULD recommend this item, BUT only if you're a big fan or completist of Nick Drake's work. Otherwise, stay away.

I like it because aside from the fact that itýs hard to get that much concentrated writing about Nick in one place (aside from Patrick Humphries' biography) the lyrics are included, and the disc doubles as a fun "Hey! Look what I found!" item that you can show off to all your other Drake-obsessed friends!

Just a note:.......2003-02-23

The version of Saturday Sun is not the version written by Nick Drake... i really dont know what song elton john is singing.
