Northern Sky is a bit magical, a favourite of mine

I'm acquainted with Brian Wells, who I believe has Nick's d-28 that was supposedly The studio guitar for much of his albums rather than the Guild.
I have more albums by John Martyn than any other artist and two of those would make my top 10 of all time. That said, I regard Drake as his equal as a singer/songwriter, although obviously not as a live performer. Drake was a contradictory character, gifted and at times arrogant, but ultimately deeply unsure of his ability as a musician. His potential was never realised, but he left us with three wonderful albums.
Arrogance often comes from a place of insecurity.

Football is rubbish.
But I've now been listening properly, ie concentrating on it and listening with headphones rather than just while driving or in the background etc. And I think I'm finally fully getting it and really enjoying immersing myself in the songs. Northern Sky was and still is a favourite in particular.
People have tended to mention him when they've heard me singing and playing guitar - not that I'm anywhere near his abilities for either, let me be clear on that. But people have tended to assume I'm influenced by him and are surprised when I say I'm not really that familiar with his stuff. I suppose I sort of am, in that I am influenced by things that probably influenced him (i hear some Bert Jansch influence in his stuff) and also influenced by people who seem to have been influenced by him (for example Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice etc).
I suppose I have a similar soft voice and play only with my fingers, on quite dull strings sounds, and of course I'm quite a negative depressive person so I suppose the combination of those does kind of suggest a similarity.
But yeah, I finally "get it" and am now happy to say, I do love the music. I'm often quite late to the party with a lot music but I get there, and I'm grateful when I do
