Reviews

"...constructs the story of Drake's life with insights from those who knew him best... Rasmussen writes elegantly about the music, while his detailed account of the last years of Drake's life are sensitively handled. By the end of this book, Rasmussen has breathed new life into his subject and his music." source: www.mojo4music.com -- Mark Blake 20120401 'Gorm tells the story with great understanding of Nick and his art. He must be credited with writing the first book about Nick, and possibly the best one too. Like Nick's own works, it was unappreciated for many years. now that its truth and magic are revealed, it deserves to find a much wider audience and will undoubtedly bring satisfaction to all those who wish to know the real Nick Drake a little better.' -- Jason Creed Pynk Moon fanzine 20120530 'A story in which straight biographical bits are interwoven with skillfully composed, extrapolated scenes ... fans will find it a great companion book to Drake's music, and rock lovers will enjoy the author's serious, personal attempt to get intimate with his icon.'
