Northern Sky - Nick Drake (cover/own arrangement)

Cover of Nick Drake's Northern Sky. I don't do this in the 'official tuning'. It's one of my favourite Nick Drake songs. I worked out this arrangement in Dropped D a while back when, to save strings, I was keeping away from open tunings. I dropped the top string to D as well when I recorded this.

Great work. Clean and crisp guitar playing. Definitely on a higher level than my version. I like your vocal tone as well. It's intimate and soulful.

Check out my version, or my other songs and let me know what you think as well!

I like your cover of this classic Bryter Layter track

Drop D.. interesting way of playing this Nick Drake/J Cale collaboration!

Thanks very much, Amy. I was just listening to your version of Place To Be and you prove every time how true that is and to what effect - great stuff.

All the best
