Part of the 33 1/3 series, this is a collection of essays and criticisms of the third album by singer/songwriter Nick Drake. While I found some of the essays interesting, I was disappointed that, while a woman herself, the author neglected to interview any women for this project. The conclusions drawn in the essay about the Volkswagen ad were also disappointing.

Due to Nick Drake's mysterious lifestyle and the fragile albums he recorded this volume about the skeletal and bleak Pink Moon should be great!
In a way it is. Petrusich gives a detailed look about his life and the recording techniques used for recording Pink Moon, there's even an interview with his producer, Joe Boyd but ultimately all knowledge here is not entirely new. It does make a oddly cozy read though.
