  3. Hope this works. First one extraordinary to watch her build sound. She did this, sounding exactly the same, busking. This is very different, starts quiet, picks up, sounds like a young Paul Simon, unplugged This is Nick Drake, dead close to 40 years, from possible/probable suicide. Favorite of Heath Ledger and Brad Pitt, I was surprised to read, recently. In Britain and Oz, almost a requirement to qualify as a tortured, deep thinking academic student, and yes, if you know Nick Drake, you do get automatic respect.
