Reviews"Some of the mystery around Drake may fall away with the publication of Remembered for a While , a 450-page compilation of essays and memorabilia edited by Gabrielle Drake, the singer's sister, and Cally Callomon, the manager of his musical estate...And though Ms. Drake writes that Remembered for a While is not a biography, her astute annotations, as well as the album-by-album overview by the British critic Peter Paphides, make it a richly detailed account of his life and work."-- Allan Kozinn, New York Times

SynopsisA vivid portrait of the English singer-songwriter and musician Nick Drake Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake was an English singer-songwriter and musician, known for his acoustic guitar-based songs. Drake released only three complete albums -- Five Leaves Left (1969), Bryter Layter (1970), Pink Moon (1972) -- and was not well known before his death in 1974. Yet he gained a massive posthumous following, inspiring leading musicians such as R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Robert Smith of The Cure and bands such as Coldplay and The Black Crowes. Forty years after Nick's death, Remembered for a While peels back some of the mystery surrounding his life. The book will feature gorgeous color photographs, as well as original letters and interviews with family and friends. As Nick's sister writes in the introduction, Remembered for a While will reveal "the poet, the musician, the friend, the son, the brother, who was also more than all of these together, and as indefinable as the morning mist." At long last, Remembered for a While paints a portrait of a visionary musician who inspired a fanatical following and whose legacy continues to inspire future generations of musicians -- and the lives of his fans., A vivid portrait of the English singer-songwriter and musician Nick Drake.

Easily The Finest Book of It's Kind
Remembered for a While is a fine collection of biography, photographs, and most important the lyrics of all the Nick Drake songs and many never recorded. It's handsome and feels good in the hands or a reader. It is hardbound in the fashion of enameled boards but matted. Nick Drake would be amazed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
