Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released thirty years after his tragic death, 'Made to Love Magic' is a carefully curated archival collection of Nick Drake's studio outtakes, alternate mixes, and previously unheard recordings. Highlighted by the stunning, newly discovered acoustic track 'Tow the Line', the compilation features string arrangements orchestrated by his close collaborator Robert Kirby. It provides an achingly beautiful, autumnal coda to the exceptionally brief catalog of the legendary British folk songwriter.
