It took three decades for Five Leaves Left to be rediscovered by a wide audience, sparking a veritable cult phenomenon around Nick Drake, who died four years after the album's completion.
Influenced as much by Baroque music as by Romantic poetry, by Leonard Cohen as by the Beatles, Five Leaves Left was produced by Joe Boyd, the producer of the first recordings of Pink Floyd and Fairport Convention. He surrounded the young musician with the best arrangers and a sound engineer at the top of his game to produce one of the most beautiful albums of British folk.
The authors of this work met at length with Joe Boyd and endeavored to convey, in an extremely detailed way, the osmosis that reigned between all the contributors to this record, highlighting the precious moments that Five Leaves Left contains and demolishing the figure of the cursed and isolated poet too often attached to its author.
