Having recently released what is likely to be my favourite album of the year (Caught in the Trees) I went back and listened to some older Damien Jurado stuff. Whilst there I stumbled across this gem. Just prior to releasing his 2006 album Now That I'm In Your Shadow, Jurado recorded a batch of Nick Drake covers and scattered them all over the web. These renditions are beautiful tributes to an inspiring artist whose life was tragically cut short.
If you haven't already done so, go and buy some Damien Jurado AND Nick Drake: both are remarkable songwriters, underated in their own times.
