 not a good book January 27, 2008
12 out of 19 found this review helpful
nice try - but overall, not a good book - amongst it's many problems - it mispell's Bert Jansch as BURT Jansch many times. It's filled with hipster indie rock musicians - none of whom actually heard Nick's music before 1990. A third of the book is given over to praise upon praise to the folks who put the song "pink moon" in a Volkswagen TV commerical - which is a important moment in the history of this album - not nearly as important as Nick himself - who seems overshadowed by these TV ad people in importance by the author. Lastly contributer Nic Harcourt claims to have gotten Genesis promo posters from Nick Drake's 1970's record label ISLAND RECORDS as a teenager growing up in the UK - that's impossible, Genesis never recorded for ISLAND RECORDS. It's like saying that Warner Brothers (not EMI) sent out promo posters of the Beatles. Full of semi-misinformation and too much focus on the author and the indie-rock hipsters she interviewed.
