There’s no Nick Drake music here. But there is a song about a Nick Drake tape. By Clem Snide. There’s no person named Clem Snide either, but there is a group by that name.

'Nick Drake Tape' (1998)

Clem Snide formed in NYC during the early 90’s. Their debut album You Were A Diamond was released in 1998. Indie/alt-country, roots rock, “No Depression" music.

'Your Night To Shine' (1998)

‘Lost On The River’ hits me the same way as early Palace Brothers. does. Could be from 1940s Appalachia or from last week (given the right group of musicians). It’s "old timey" as they say.

Really enjoy the next one. A perfect winter song in my mind.
We can't stay here tonight
This waitress is tired
Of waging a war of attrition
So pay for the coffee
And we'll take it to go
And you hold the cup while I'm driving
