Release Notes:

'Family Tree' tells the story of Nick Drake's
musical development in the years prior to his debut
album 'Five Leaves Left' in 1969. It features lo-fi
recordings made on a reel-to-reel tape recorder at
his home, Far Leys in Tanworth In Arden, as well as
eight songs recorded on cassette during his sojourn
in Aix En Provence. The inclusion of two songs by
his mother Molly Drake bears testament to her
influence on her son. His final performances on
'Family Tree'- 'Day Is Done' and 'Way To Blue'
recorded by his Cambridge friend and arranger Robert
Kirby- are the end of one story and the beginning of
another.
'Family Tree' comprises mostly other people's
compositions: the folk and blues tunes used by many
a young guitarist in the 60s, attempting to master
the fretboard. Nick played Jackson C. Frank, Bert
Jansch, Dave Van Ronk and, of course, Bob Dylan.
In the years since Nick's death in 1974, many of the
songs on 'Family Tree' have turned up on bootlegs,
many of a very poor quality indeed. For NickÆs
estate and those charged with the job of managing it
û Gabrielle Drake, Cally Callomon û the continuing
proliferation of these bootlegs led them to decide
that it would at least be preferable to present them
in a more suitable manner.
