British singer-songwriter Nick Drake died at the age of 26 in 1974. His music went viral years after his death. Now the same thing is happening to his late mother, Molly Drake, a songwriter herself, who recorded songs in her home in the 1950s that seemed a decade ahead of their time. She died in 1996 at 77, and now her music is getting attention.
Host Robin Young speaks to her daughter and Nick Drake’s sister, Gabrielle Drake, and Richard Morton Jack, author of the biography “Nick Drake: The Life.”
