The Ghost Of Nick Drake?

Jose Gonzalez on 'Veneer'.
This is simple, haunting and beautiful music, reminding myself and other devotees of the dear departed ND.
I've ordered a Japanese copy of the CD.

PS.
A new ND biography by Trevor Dann is released on 2nd February.

Gianluigi;
Yes; that's him. I listened to the samples, and he seems to have refined and simplified his music on 'Veneer'.

Hi J.N.!
Usually i don't like what they call "neo folk" but that EP it's pretty good and, at last, back in stock.
I love Drake as i like Bonnie Prince Billy, Buckley and few others.
Bill Morrisey is great!

Gianluigi (and others);
You must get 'Veneer'. I picked up a copy in Tesco today, and it is utterly sublime.
I simply have not heard anyone else since Nick Drake, make this kind of beautiful music. Haunting lyrics, and simple repeated motifs on a nylon strung acoustic guitar.
Magical.
John.
