Nick Drake Clothes of Sand (The Sheiling Cover)

'The Sheiling' cover version of 'Clothes of Sand' appeared on their first album 'A Touch of Rain' (Umbrella Head 2000). It is also to be found (with a version of 'From the Morning') on their compilation CD 'Life in a Box' (Umbrella Head 2007). Other Nick Drake songs the band have covered include 'Joey' and 'Voice from the Mountain' (now known as 'Voices'). Other recent covers on Youtube include a nice version from Calexico.

really nice cover folks this really is a stunning song in every way

[Msrumblebelly]

Fantastic voice and great beautiful shots. Check out the mysterious Mr Sheiling's quirky new video - Coming Through

[IanGulley]

Very nice to hear this again Dylan. I really like all the elements of it - your singing, Lucy's violin, Steve's bass, and even my guitar! The video is very nice too - You must do some more of these.

[LuluRolfe]

Very atmospheric ... almost trance-like. The ebb and flow of the waves creates a fitting backdrop to Drake's penetrating lyrics. Who is the elusive Mr Sheiling?

What a beautiful cover, great vocals and really clear powerful sound quality. More videos and songs please!
