Five Leaves Left
It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also recruited school friend Robert Kirby to create most of the just-right string and wind arrangements. His own performance itself steered a careful balance between too-easy accessibility and maudlin self-reflection, combining the best of both worlds while avoiding the pitfalls on either side.
- Time Has Told Me
- River Man
- Three Hours
- Way To Blue
- Day Is Done
- 'Cello Song
- The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
- Man In A Shed
- Fruit Tree
- Saturday Sun
