* OnceOriginalNowCommon:
** So many indie folk artists have copied his [[PerishingAltRockVoice hushed vocals]], finger picking on the acoustic guitar and introspective lyrics that it can be hard for modern listeners to understand how different his style was from anything that was going on at the time.
** His style of downtuning and capo use specifically for melancholic feel renders him unique even among folk musicians. In recent times it has been more common to downtune this way in the post-hardcore and shoegaze genres.

Not YMMV.


* ReclusiveArtist: Drake was never completely comfortable with the attention he received, but as his depression spiralled in the early 70s, he starting withdrawing from the public eye, and after finishing ''Pink Moon'' more or less gave up recording and live performance, spending the last few years of his life holed up in his parents' house in Warwickshire.
