About
<i>Family Tree</i> is a product of intense need. Drake’s three albums of spectral, early ‘70s chamber folk left fans searching out lost home recordings, and these are collected here. There are scratchy old blues masters (“My Baby’s So Sweet”), contemporary folk-blues (“Been Smokin’ Too Long”), and a work-in-progress piano version of “Way to Blue.” Most fascinating are the recordings of Nick’s mother, Molly Drake, singing her own songs (“Poor Mum,” “Do You Ever Remember?”), foreshadowing her son’s mournful sophistication with eerie precision.

These are period amateur home recordings that capture the sketches of a burgeoning songwriting genius as he learns his trade. The songs range from the early influential songs by his mother Molly Drake, thr
