A Skin Too Few

Nick Drake FULL documentary! Go HERE for the FULL SCREEN HIGH QUALITY Movie! Google video...ROKS!!! And here for the movie site. A comment from ww.imdb.com Author: Orv Pibbs from United States The Genius of Artistry of this long gone Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter has definitely made an incredible impact on my inner self. Both as a person, as well as a musician. This movie documents the 26 short years of Nick's life (1948-1974), focusing on his brilliant music, as well as the talented musical and technical people who helped shape his sound, in London in the late 60's & early 70's, as well as his sister Gabrielle, and haunting audio segments of both his late parents. Unfortunately, Nick was not of his time, and was never really appreciated during his oh so short time here. But his 3 albums, Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later & Pink Moon, continues to indoctrinate new fans day after day, being moved by the songs that were written almost 40 years ago. Amazing !!! Now if only the money people, controlling this film, could come to terms, thousands more would be able to feel, what this incredible musician had to say..... "When the Day is Done, Hope So Much, Your Race Will be All Run." Note... another artist (as my Big Star post) where live and archival footage is hard to come by....until now. Still, nothing live. (Be prepared for another Big Star post a friend sent me WITH archival clips. sure hope yer a fan. Thanks Sam)
