Remember the painterly and tedious documentary “A Skin Too Few” of fey, sad folkie Nick Drake released in 2000? It’s being released on DVD for the first time (wait, we can get it on netflix; whateves) and bundled with the upcoming re-release of Fruit Tree, the mostly-comprehensive boxset of Drake’s first three and only sad and fey studio albums.
The boxset, which includes the aforementioned ‘Skin’ documentary DVD, also includes a new 108 page book of mindnumbling detailed song-by-song analysis and is due November 6.
“I always said that Nick was born with a skin too few”, says actress Gabrielle about her brother, the English singer-songwriter Nick Drake (1948-1974).
