The album starts of with Introduction, an instrumental folk play by singer/songwriter Nick Drake. Released in 1970 and were recorded at one of studio at London, this soft sophomore were Drake at his best.

The album followup its debut, Five Leaves Left trully folk with some of the tracks are rich with strings. It shows Drake change his style of folk by adding a bit of jazz feel to this sophomore. Hazy Jane II were the second track on the album accompany by Richard Thompson licks were a few example of Drake new change of style.

The highlights however were Fly, adding John Cale harpischord and viola sound to it. Other were Poor Boy with female choir sing in the middle of the song.

I think some of the arrangements on some tracks "date" it a bit (where Pink Moon is more timeless) but Hazey Jane I is a good as it gets.
