Bob's the man
Review of Best Of Bob Dylan, The [Remastered] - Bob Dylan by Tea65

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: None

I got into this guy quite a few years ago by an ex; he was an avid listener and collector of Bob Dylan's work and since that time well I still can't seem to get enough of Dylan and his lyrics. In my opinion Dylan is a sheer genius very much along the same lines as Leonard Cohen now although Leonard Cohen has done some great work in his time, nothing in my mind compares to this legend. The album has a lot of the old favourites, like 'Blowin' In ...
...From The Storm' and the songs on the album have been digitally remastered for better sound quality and this has worked tremendously. Songs on this album: Blowin' In The Wind The Times They Are A Changin' Don't Think Twice, It's All Right Mr. Tambourine Man Like A Rolling Stone Just Like A Woman All Along The Watchtower Lay Lady Lay I Shall Be Released If Not For You Knockin' On Heaven's Door Forever Young Tangled Up In Blue Oh Sister ...

SONGS TO BRIGHTEN A NORTHERN SKY
Review of Bryter Layter [Remastered] - Nick Drake by Mauri

Advantages: Great songs and music
Disadvantages: Not very well known

...his state of mind. Bryter Layter is Drake's second and best known album, it build's upon the style and sound of his debut 'Five Leaves Left' and has been described as 'Chamber' Folk primarily for its use of stringed instruments (apart from guitars) and its intimate feel. A difficulty in characterising Drake's music especially on this recording possibly lies at the heart of his lack of commercial and critical recognition. Drake never fitted in. ...
...Things First Hazey Jane I Bryter Layter Fly Poor Boy Northern Sky Sunday 'Bryter Layter' released in 1970 is a clear progression from his debut the rather melancholy 'Five Leaves Left' but there are signs that even at this early stage in his career Drake was prepared to take risks with his music. The use of a variety of unusual instrument (unusual for a folk/pop record of the time) such as Flute, horns, Cello, Viola and harpsichord all lend ... Read review

Pink Moon
Review of Pink Moon [Remastered] - Nick Drake by darkangelwing

Advantages: Folk rock at it's best, magical lyrics, soothing vocals and enchanting lullabies, a real treat for the ears
Disadvantages: None

...the world of folk rock Pink Moon is right up there squeezing it's way in between it's peers. Nick Drake has an enchantingly soothing pitched voice and along with his infamous right hand finger picking guitar style he is held in high esteem among his critics and fellow folk musicians. Nicholas Rodney Drake born June 19, 1948 in Ranhoon, Burma grew up in a small village in Warwickshire, he learnt how to play the flute at the local public school in ...
...final and most accomplished masterpiece Pink Moon in two, two hour sessions each starting at midnight. Pink Moon was much more bare and naked than the two previous well produced albums, Nick's lost and depressed feel can be felt to vividly in each song. Apparently after recording Pink Moon Drake dropped off the tapes at the front desk of Island Records and left swearing we would retire for good from recording and performing solo material. Pink Moon ... Read review
