- Nick Drake, "Fruit Tree" .
- Nick Drake -vocals, guitar.

Released two more records, Bryter Layter (1970) and Pink Moon (1972), neither of which afforded Drake the recognition he and his peers felt was deserved.

- Nick Drake .
- Rarely has an album been recorded that is more tragically self-aware than Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left. The title refers to the marking on the inside of a packet of cigarette rolling papers that indicates only five more remain; a prophetic title indeed, given that five years after the release of his stunning debut album, Nick Drake would be dead at the age of 26. ...
- Nick Drake was more of a poet than a performer, shy and introverted, and terrified of playing before an audience. It is lucky and ironic that during one of his infrequent gigs he was spotted by a member of established English folksters, Fairport Convention, who convinced their producer Joe Boyd to give Drake a listen. Boyd was impressed enough with Drake's demo tape that he signed him to a contract in 1968 and set to working with Nick on his debut album. ...
- Drake's songs do not fit neatly into any category that was recognizable at the time; he seemed to have more in common with romantic poets like Byron or Shelley than with his musical peers, mostly folk revivalists and celtic rockers. ...
- A feeling of wistfulness and beautiful melancholy pervades Five Leaves Left, leaving the listener with a longing for the peaceful simplicity of the English countryside that was Drake's refuge from the confusing cacophony of the big city and the pressures of modern life. The lush string arrangements of Robert Kirby perfectly complement Drake's world-weary vocals and hauntingly evocative lyrics. The song "Fruit Tree" offers a perfect example of Drake's gift for combining pastoral imagery with piercing self revelation: "Fame is but a fruit tree / so very unsound / it can never flourish / until its stalk is in the ground / So men of fame / who never find the way / until time has flown / far from their dying day. ...
