Nick Drake and others like him

Agree with the last post, especially Nic Jones.
The newer artists mentioned, while good in their own right, are nothing like that era you ask about. Look for anything on the Hannibal/Carthage label.

...judy sill too

I saw Tim Buckley live three times.None of his records come close to what he could do live.His singing was very improvisational.Jazzlike.While I think Nick Drake was talented,I wouldn't put him in the same league with Tim Buckley.

Wow....lots of music here to explore. Thanks to all!
