Lonely and misunderstood, almost like the Van Gogh of folk rock,
Nick Drake died in 1974 at the age of 26. He should know how beloved the three albums he bequeathed have since been and continue to be discovered by new generations. On The Endless Coloured Ways, then, Drake is honored by a diverse club of artists from several generations: from veteran Ben Harper to riot grrl Liz Phiar to hip indie
