When Nick Drake (1948-1974) died of a drug overdose at twenty-six, he left behind three modest-selling albums, including the stark Pink Moon and the lush Bryter Layter. Three decades later, he is recognized as one of the true geniuses of English acoustic music. Yet Nick Drake--whose music was as gentle and melancholy as the man himself-- has always maintained a spectral presence in popular music. This groundbreaking biography reconstructs a vanished life while perfectly capturing the bohemian scenes surrounding the music business in London in the late '60s and early '70s. Using many newly discovered documents and all-new interviews, Trevor Dann reveals more detail on Nick Drake than ever, from his upbringing in a quintessentially English village, through his hash-fueled school days at Cambridge University, to the missed opportunities and mismanagement that defined his career. Friends and colleagues describe the difficulties that he faced as each new album was released, only to fail, and the insidious despair that consumed him. Complete with discography and rare photos, Darker Than the Deepest Sea is essential reading for anyone who has been moved by Nick Drake's unforgettable blend of beauty and sadness.

Great Fit for Tall Men — Comfortable and Stylish
Size: 18.5" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: Cameo Blue
I bought the Van Heusen Men’s Tall FIT Dress Shirts in Poplin because it’s hard to find dress shirts that fit well for taller men. The fit is excellent — long enough in the sleeves and body, yet still tailored and comfortable. I especially like the blue color, which looks sharp and professional. I have already purchased multiple shirts and would definitely buy more. Very happy with these. Key Features: Tall fit designed for men with longer torsos and sleeves Classic poplin fabric for a smooth, crisp look Long sleeves with button cuffs Traditional button-down front Easy-care fabric, machine washable Available in multiple colors for versatility Modern, tailored fit that isn’t too loose Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience only and is not professional fashion or sizing advice. Individual fit and comfort may vary.

22" neck With good length sleeve relaxed and bent
Size: 22" Neck 37"-38" Sleeve, Color: Flame
22" neck With good length sleeve relaxed that didn't walk up forearm when arm was bent. For a fitted shirt. 22" neck was true to size but the waist is still quite large. Even with creative folding it was noticeably large waisted. Fabric is high quality and vivid color that should last. Price is Fair and a good value for this shirt. Buttons fit easily into the holes but are secure and won't come out too easily.

Good fit and fabric quality, and the button color doesn't stick out too much.
Size: 17" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: Black
Unlike some competitor shirts, the buttons in these are not BRIGHT white. (Subtle buttons are better for my usee.) Fit and fabric quality are both very good.
