Wraiths (by Gareth Dickson)

by Nick(ed) Drake

supported by

Loren Knack Nice Nick Drake covers. Favorite track: From the Morning.

Lost Tribe Sound As if Nick Drake were still alive, Although, Gareth's renditions provide a more whispered, rough hewn quality to the originals, creating a more campfire song feel to it, still excellent. Scissor Tail Editions can do no wrong in my book! Favorite track: Road.

about

What we have here are by far the most reverent and beautiful cover versions of Nick Drake songs to date. The album Wraiths is Gareth Dickson's favorite Nick Drake songs. If you've not checked out Mr. Dickson releases on 12k before you'll be kicking yourself on hearing this as he's a quiet marvel on the six-string. His own songs spill with a discreet lulling beauty, and when he "Does Drake" you realise he's paying homage to someone painfully dear to him in the vast realm of popular music.

In turn these versions retain a lot of the intimacy, warmth and magic of the originals and it is a true pleasure to hear them re-broadcast through his fingers and voice. The production is warm and involving, his voice even rendered startlingly in the style of young Nick. In lesser hands this could be a little pointless but Gareth is a bit of a master at this sort of thing and 'Wraiths' is a worthy homage to a great man, by a great man.

Lovely and spacious sounds balanced with a disquieting atmosphere. An excellent suite that uses ambient music not just to calm the listener, but to transport them into an epic, sweeping storm. alec critten

Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years. Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson

Faintly Recollected

supported by 13 fans who also own “Wraiths (by Gareth Dickson)”

Let's put it this way- this is simply one of our favourite works ever!...A collection of variations on a theme that drift by, perfuming the air, or that stop a moment to whisper you a story. Evocative in its sparse beauty, We are sure this will been the permanent playlist always, right alongside Arvo Part's "Alina" and offthesky's "Silent went the Sea" ....ss/tm/am editions vaché
