About
Bryter Layter, recorded in 1970, was the second of three albums by British folk musician Nick Drake. Like Five Leaves Left, the album contains no unaccompanied songs: Drake was accompanied by part of the British folk rock group Fairport Convention and John Cale from The Velvet Underground, as well as Beach Boys musicians Mike Kowalski and Ed Carter. Q (May 2007, p. 135) - "Drake and producer Joe Boyd ratcheted up the production from the singer's debut album for this slick pop-folk set inspired by stoned late-night rambles around London. Hazey Jane II and At the Chime of a City Clock offered more hooks than a pirate convention, but mainstream success proved tellingly elusive."
