Nick Garrie Busker and Bohemian Poet

Only recently unearthed was songwriter Nick Garrie who delivered his poetry spaced The Nightmare Of J.B. Stanislas (1969) exploring his bohemian French liaisons.The album is a Godlocked interlude of poetic excursions, namely the epic  title track, the fluent “Can I Stay With You” and infectious “Ink Pot Eyes” for a Russian actress are art decor magnifique that wash splendidly. In the same dripping ink regalia as Peter Sarstedt, Garrie is the hippie busker that you may be lucky enough to encounter the way I did on a winters morning in Portobello Road. Nick’s psychedelic debut “Queen Of Spades” in 1968 quickly resigned to the angelic “Cambridge Town”, not quite Dylan’s “Oxford Town” but closer to Pentangle’s Cruel Sister songbook. Admired by poets like Leonard Cohen whom he supported on numerous occasions has recently surfaced to great appeal in France and Spain.

Nick’s “Suitcase Man” featured ex Sweet Thursday / Cat Stevens guitarist Alun Davies , the album, peaking at #1 in Spain. Garrie’s “Love In My Eyes” co-written with Francis Lai backed by a Parisian String Quartet spread its seduction as far as Japan, but this was not the esoteric “Evening” or acoustic solace that caressed the intrinsic “Deeper Tones Of Blue”, a ballad that blew its Spring breezes through the rolling hills of the Basque. Garrie is a household name in Catalonia North of Spain thanks to the artistic endevours of a Radio show called ‘Trilogy Rock’ as they evangelize the Magna Carta styled “Seashore”. Nick the bohemian traveler that lingered through the bustling accordion street cafes’ of Serge Gainsberg (“Can I Stay With You”) is the candle we all trying to light or perhaps just that “Little Bird”  trying to fly across the sky, a blessed flight I'm sure
