Nick Drake Releases a US Single
April 13, 2000
It's about stinkin' time that people have begun to notice UK folkie NICK DRAKE. Regardless of the fact that poor Nick died of an overdose over 25 years ago, he's about to have his very first ever U.S. single. The track in question is "Pink Moon," which you might recognize from the latest Volkswagen ad campaign for the Cabrio convertible. The oft-lauded ad has created a new resurgence of interest in Drake's work, and Rykodisc is planning to reissue his three-album catalog, as well as a possible single and video for "Pink Moon," the first track on Drake's final album (of the same name.)
