    The Songs of Nick Drake: Way to Blue www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s06v5
    Filmed at the Barbican in January 2010 and curated by Joe Boyd, producer and general champion of Nick Drake, 90 minutes of performance highlights from a diverse but renowned cast of modern day troubadours.
    Presenting their own interpretations of Drake's songs are Vashti Bunyan, Green Gartside, Lisa Hannigan, Scott Matthews, Teddy Thompson, Krystle Warren, Robyn Hitchcock, Kirsty Almeida and Harper Simon.
    A celebration of the songs of Nick Drake, the concert features the original orchestrations of Nick's friend, the late Robert Kirby. It includes a house band anchored by Danny Thompson, the legendary bassist who played on Drake's first two albums.
    Highlights include Teddy Thompson's version of the timeless River Man, Lisa Hannigan's haunting and compelling version of Black Eyed Dog, Krystle Warren's bluesy take on Time Has Told Me, Robyn Hitchcock's psychedelic spin on Parasite and Neil MacColl's accomplished rendition of the classic Northern Sky.
    During his lifetime Nick Drake found little mainstream success, but since his death at the untimely age of 26 in 1974 he has been revered as one of the most influential and important English songwriters of his era.

    It's so surreal to me that music from so long ago, a different country, a different time, made by a man who didn't even make it to 30 years old, can reach across time and touch so many people with such deep relevance and resonance. Something about it just does my head in - there's a timeless quality to all of his songs that make them sound like they were written yesterday, just for you, and you alone.

You can't believe how many worthless people in the music industry made money - a regular paycheck doing bull crap while Nick Drake lived in obscurity and poverty. The Music industry is as broken as our border but unlike our border, very few people know it and the ones who do like George Howard top dog at BERKLEE SCHOOL OF MUSIC are getting paid to teach lies.
