书评：
Sometimes painfully honest, often emotional, occasionally funny, sometimes dry and scholarly - always deeply engaging - Remembered for a While is probably the most ambitious, generous and thorough volume about a musician to see publication. Put simply, this is the authoritative resource for fans and future historians who may find themselves considering Nick Drake. In its absolute integrity and its sheer dignity, it is second only to his music (Mouth Magazine)
A beautiful book (Guardian Family)
This authorised companion to the wistful genius with a troubled mind includes contributions from friends, collaborators, critics and family (Telegraph Books of the Year)
From the beautifully tactile cover onwards this musical companion is a genuine delight, featuring never seen before photos, family scrapbook press cuttings, handwritten lyrics, letter extracts from Nick to his parents and also from his father Rodney's diary...Sad but ultimately celebratory, this beautiful publication is the closest any book has yet come to capturing the 'real' Nick Drake (Total Music Magazine)
Gabrielle Drake's beautifully put-together tribute to her brother Nick Drake . . . I loved looking at the unseen photos and listening to the unreleased John Peel session that came with the book (Jack Steadman, Observer Books of the Year)
Exactly 40 years after his death, acres have been written about Drake, but nothing authorised had come from the Drake estate. This gorgeous new book, co-compiled by his sister Gabrielle rectifies this. It is not a biography, but a deeply considered collection of essays, lyrics, photos and extracts, including from the diary of Drake's father as the folk singer sank into his fatal depression (Sunday Times)
I'll be dipping in and out of the sumptuous Nick Drake: Remembered For A While for years to come (Daily Telegraph)
Forty years on from his passing and the fragile music and sturdy myth of Nick Drake still haunt the culture . . . This legacy is only enhanced by Remembered for a While . . . a poetic, delightful and fascinating mix of never before seen photos, hand-written lyrics and scrapbooked press clippings as well as interviews with friends and family and excerpts from Drake's letters. A beautifully made and exquisite book built solely out of love for it's subject, Remembered for a While is a perfect companion to the songs that inspired it (Loud and Quiet Magazine)
This beautifully packaged book has the imprimatur and approval of his actress sister Gabrielle, as well as contributions from the likes of Monty Don (Belfast Telegraph)
A superb book that anyone touched by Nick's music will find fascinating (The Idler Book of the Week)
Beautifully packaged and laid out . . . A fitting tribute to a unique musician (Sunday Herald)
Praise for Nick Drake (.)
One of the most beloved English singers of all time (Daily Telegraph)
I am a huge admirer of his records (Brad Pitt)
Every indie band in America lists Nick Drake as an influence (Green Gartside, lead singer of Scritti Politti)
Rock has known a million morose young poets . . . by the law of averages, they were bound to spawn at least one genuine genius. They did. His name was Nick Drake (NME)
