Description

Bryter Layter, recorded in 1970 was the second of three albums recorded by British Folk musician Nick Drake.  Drake was accompanied by Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks and Richard Thompson of Fairport Convention, John Cale of Velvet Underground, and Mike Kowalski and Ed carter with the Beach Boys.

In 2000, Q placed Bryter Layter at number 23 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. Q (January 2001, p.95) - Included in Q's "5 Best Re-Issues of 2000".

In 2003, the album was ranked number 245 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

NME (18 September 1993, p. 19) - Ranked #14 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s. In 2000, NME included "One of These Things First" on a CD titled NME Presents Under the Influence, which included songs by some of most influential musicians and bands in music history[2].

Entertainment Weekly (12 May 2000, p. 24) - "The exquisiteness of the first album is expanded upon in 'Hazey Jane I', 'Fly' and a genuinely optimistic love song, 'Northern Sky'." - Rating: B+

Mojo (July 2000, p. 99) - "Certainly the most polished of his catalogue....[It] begins to suggest a whole other tableau of unexplored possibilities....God, how damn confident it all sounds. He knew how good he was."

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

Q (May 2007, p. 135) - "Drake and producer Joe Boyd ratcheted up the production from the singer's debut album for this slick pop-folk set inspired by stoned late-night rambles around London. Hazey Jane II and At the Chime of a City Clock offered more hooks than a pirate convention, but mainstream success proved tellingly elusive.
