Nick Drake - "The Making of Five Leaves Left [Box Set]" | Album Review

It took years for listeners to rediscover his work, but today, Nick Drake is celebrated and frequently cited as one of the greatest songwriters of his era. Drake’s new box set is more than a collection of studio sessions, a book, and a remastered album.
