Pink Moon is the third and final album by English musician Nick Drake. It was recorded at midnight in two separate two-hour sessions, over two days in October 1971, featuring only Nick Drake's vocals and guitar, as well as some piano later overdubbed by Drake on the title track.

[edit] Album information

Initially, Pink Moon garnered a small amount of critical attention, but decades after Drake's death it received widespread public and critical acclaim. The music on Pink Moon is sparse and unadorned (especially in comparison to Drake's previous recordings), leading some to consider it to be the least accessible of his three albums, though it nevertheless continues to be regarded by many fans and music critics as his greatest work.

In 1999, the title track was used in "Milky Way", a Volkswagen Cabriolet commercial directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and filmed by Lance Acord, leading to a large increase in record sales,[1] and a number-five placing for Pink Moon in Amazon.com's sales chart.[2]

The cover of the album features an illustration by the partner of Drake's sister Gabrielle, Michael Trevithick.

Entertainment Weekly (12 May 2000, p. 24) - "One voice, one guitar, one set of beautifully dolorous songs...the equivalent of an amble down a darkened country road. Model after-hours listening." - Rating: A

Q magazine (August 2000, pp. 112–3) - 5 stars out of 5 - "Nick Drake's best album....[Its] excellence shines through....Few records have ever sounded so intimate, or embodied Melancholy with such grace and assurance."

Alternative Press (March 2001, p. 88) - "With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, [one] of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded."

Mojo (July 2000, p. 99) - "His masterpiece and the Robert Johnson comparisons are fully deserved."

Spin (p. 101) - "[H]is Keatsian mark on music is indelible."
