This is absolutely perfectly played and sung. Us Nick Drake fans are hard done by not having any footage of the man himself. This is easily the best representation I can think of. You even look slightly alike. Wonderful. Thank you Josh

This is no laughing matter. This is probably one of the greatest songs in the world. One of the most moving. It is impossible not to respect it to the note. Impossible to play with it. You can only interpret it. And this interpretation is simply perfect.

Nick Drake will always be one of my favourite artists, and you do his songs such justice.

It’s hard for me to listen to some of these songs. They have such a profound emotional impact that sometimes I just can’t put myself through it. But if I’m already in despair these songs seem to pull me out of it. Absolutely baffling how that works out. One day it can drag me to the dark parts of my psyche, and on others it’s the one thing that’ll pull me out. Hope your well my friend❤️

Welcome back Nick Drake to the Josh Turner youtube portfolio. Both you and Tobias Wilden keep the memory of Nick Drake alive for younger generations to experience. Looks like you are making great use of the D'angelico guitar. It sounds great but your voice carries the song and gives it the longing feel that it was penned to do. Thanks for a Friday treat!!!!!

Wonderful description, Honesto -- "elegant melancholia." So much great singer-songwriter music is this, I think.
It's uncanny , just heard a ghost an echo of Nick reverberating through the years , the best cover I've ever heard , beautiful and so sad , thank you ❤️🌈👍💖
As a guitar player myself I appreciate how good you are but I really don’t think you need to play to hear or see how good you are. Keep going and going and going. Brilliant😊
Josh you’ve definitely exposed me to a lot of great music over the years, but I really appreciate the Nick Drake videos. They didn’t quite resonate with me when I was in high school/college, but the older I get the more impactful they become. Need to do a full dive into the discography. Thank you for sharing your music with us as always, can’t wait to see you live again soon!

Totally agree with you. Didn't get Nick Drake when he was current. But then years later my son discovered him in his early teens (now in his 30s) and really opened my eyes to Nick's magic. Josh carries the beauty of Nick Drake's music home to the present.
Nobody covers him so well, thank you, it was a treat to see/hear it 🌟
Horn is such a brutally bleak but beautiful piece and knowing what Nick was going through at the time of recording encapsulates his mental state perfectly.
I'm glad that people are keeping Nick Drake's legacy alive. His music deserves a much wider audience.
Incredibly true to the original, one of my favorite Nick Drake tunes. Absolutely love this.
I have been a Nick Drake fan since the early 70s. You do the best job covering his songs of anyone I’ve seen. Just by the note for note playing and singing I can tell your a huge fan . Thank you so much for total respect and reverence you have when playing his music.
I keep coming back to this song. It's haunting. Really shows Nick Drake's state of mind. A bit of positivity at some points that resolve into a sad note again. Just beautiful.
Nothing has made me happier. You've done him proud. 💕
I love when you are making music with your friends but the solo things are the best.
Do you have any tutorials of Nick Drake on your patreon site or elsewhere? You are simply the best there is. No point learning from anyone else!
I'm so glad you included 'horn' in this cover. I can't listen to Things Behind the Sun without playing Horn first. As far as I'm concerned, they're just one song
This is one of those songs that I learnt and can barely play and certainly can’t sing. Devastatingly beautiful rendition, understated, precise and the various rhythms articulated perfectly. Thank you Josh I found this nostalgic and very moving, you captured the essence of Nick’s song whilst also making it your own.
Wow, I have been a fan of Nick Drake since 1969, I have been a fan of Josh Turner since I found him on KZread last year. I will be a fan of Josh Turner singing and Playing Nick Drake for the rest of my life, both vocal and guitar perfect.
Nick Drake is always different. Thx Josh every time we can listen Nick in your voice and your fingers.
I was a Drake fan since I first heard him in the early seventies. I have never heard anyone cover him better. Thanks so much for wonderful covers.
Josh, you catch The spirit, The real spirit of Nick Drake. It looks like The image of a bird Flying over A forgotten lake, By night.
Not many can attempt Nick Drake covers .. he would be blessed I'm sure!
Another triumph for Josh, cheers! To the Nick Drake fellowship.
Oh Josh, I love Nick Drake. You have done this song justice. Need to find your version of Three Hours. Love that song. Would you please try Riverman. That's one of my favorite Nick Drake songs. It's like you have brought him back to life. Thanks again Josh, expert cover.👏👏

My wife and I have been following you quietly for a number of years now. Maybe since you first came online. Have enjoyed your guitar and your harmonizing. Your friends. It's been a few months since I have heard or seen you. You are growing and developing your unique style now I see. And you are getting quite good. One day, we might be able to come hear you live. For us, you don't have to add any special effects. Just what you are doing right now in a quiet coffee shop or out in the park. We would love it. Take care Josh and good luck with your career.
Josh, this is a truly stunning rendition of my favourite Nick Drake song. I so love your attention to detail. Your collaborations are amazing, but magic happens when it is just you, your voice and a guitar 🎸 ❤️
I just keep coming back to this one. Beautiful.
Haven’t listened to Nick Drake in a bit (which for me is about a month and a half😂) but man this cover is amazing. Literally brought a tear to my eye. Sending love❤️
Wow, that is an excellent cover and I’m sure Nick Drake would be very proud that you made this effort to do a tribute to him. Once again, brilliant.
Excellent. Thank you. Nick Drake’s music is so fragile, I wouldn’t want too many people try to perform his songs but your rendition is mesmerizing.
Beautiful! Love that song keep the Nick Drake stuff coming!! It’s sad that there is no footage of him playing but you do his songs such justice it is like we do. I always wanted to see how he finger picked his songs because it sounds so complicated so thank you!
Josh, as someone who has grown up mainly on blues and jazz, I find that you are progressively introducing me to a whole new world of great music. As always beautifully played and sung. PS Maybe I should add Nick Drake to my education 😊

The first time I heard Nick Drake was the song Pink Moon from his first album Pink Moon. I recommend starting there and then visiting his other two official releases. Then there are the other posthumous albums which are also very much worth a visit which I would recommend Time Of No Reply to start with. He has become one of my favorite artists of all time up there with the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Tom Waits.

Wow. A masterpiece. The road to Nick Drake is long and lonely.
Two things come to mind watching this, what a huge talent Josh is and what a huge talent Nick Drake was. The vocals are different but coming from the same beautiful emotional source and guitar playing is fabulous. Thanks Josh for reminding me of the beauty of this song.
When I hear you I think about Nick, his life and what artistry and emotions his songs open up within me/us. Thanks for carrying his voice and stories to our generation.
You’ve captured my heart and soul - stunning performance! We’re listening :)
I listen to this about once a week. Just keeps me balanced
Nick was a genius, sadly he died so young! You are my top choice for playing his songs; a genius as well!
You just covered my favourite song and you did it beautifully!
this is perfect. you sound just like him.
You, sir, have done this song no injustice whatsoever. Thank you!
The change from minor to major gives me goosebumps all over. What an epic cover.

Wow. In addition to this being a wonderful piece of music, the technical aspects of this capture are just fantastic. The balance, the cleanness, the smoothness over range, everything. Just, wow.
I closed my eyes and all I could hear was Nick Drake, beautiful guitar just like Drake, vocals damned near perfect! Well done Josh.
Thank you so much for introducing people to the music of Nick Drake! And for those of us who already know what a great song-smith Nick Drake was, we appreciate you carrying this gem out into the world again. You have a gift, Josh.
beautiful cover, equal rto the original and i dont say that lightly. lovely
I’m new to Nick Drake’s music, but have been listening much lately. You seem to have his style down quite well. I also like the choice you made to include “Horn” as an intro to the song. Well done.

Amazing! Bold choice, and a great cover. Thank you! It's fascinating to watch human hands create the shapes that Nick Drake used to create his songs. We'll never get to see him do it in person, but this is a wonderful consolation prize!
I’ve been waiting for this one ever since you uploaded three hours and pink moon, can’t say I’m disappointed, thank you.
Mesmerising! I'm glad that an exquisite musician like you, who pays attention to the finest details in a recording, is keeping Nick's legacy alive. He couldn't have wished for a better man to do the job.

Not just any cover but nothing less than an outstanding reinterpretation by a singer with a golden voice and also a great guitarist.
He lives on in all of us but most brightly in you, dude
thank you again Josh - we Nick fans are enormously grateful - don't ever stop doing ur thing!
Nick Drake has been an incredibly significant character for me, before his life was tragically cut short he studied English at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. It's two days after receiving my own offer to study Natural Sciences at the university that I'm watching this, and I can't help but thank him for always being in the back of my mind when toying with what seemed like an unachievable level of academia, given my upbringing. Drake was perilously gifted, and I thank you dearly for doing him such justice.
......and with his beautiful signature model D'Angelico. Outstanding.
I have just started my personal NickDrake journey on the guitar and started with "Things behind the sun", then your cover of "Pink Moon" and now this cover is such a nice gift!
Love how you played Horn like on the album - beautiful playing with a great tone
Beautiful rendition as always Josh. Your Nick Drake covers do him so much justice, thank you.

I was not familiar with Nick Drake. Read about his depression, drug use and death by overdose. So sad. A talented man, a poet, good at describing the bad things of the world. I hope he found the hope and joy that is in Christ before he passed.
