Today I heard a studio interview with Daniel Martin Moore on US's National Public Radio. He's a singer-songwriter--folk, acoustic guitar (also plays piano)--and was compared to Nick Drack "but a little more bluesy." I don't know about the Nick Drake comparison, but he's pretty good. I like his simplicity, soothing voice, and mellow style. Wondering if others have heard about him and what you think. Here's a link to his new (and only album so far), Stray Age, at Lala, as well as some less-good quality videos:

Nick Drake has a kind of cult following--British singer-songwriter who only had 3 albums and tragic life. I've seen quite a few references to him on rab--sometimes in threaRAB about John Martyn (with whom Drake had some obvious similarities--British, guitar, same producer, etc.). Many fans discovered him only after his death. Here's last.fm bio and some full tracks, as well as a quite extensive wikipedia entry about him:
