Now here's a sad story. Drake's music is mostly acoustic although he did release an album accompanied by some strings.

This cd is a good start. The reviews will give a good idea of what he's like.

Here are the lyrics to one of the songs on this cd.

Black eyed dog
(3:20)
Feb. 1974
A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog
A black eyed dog.

I'm growing old and I wanna go home
I'm growiing old and I don't wanna know
I'm growing old and I wanna go home.

A black eyed dog he called at my door
A black eyed dog he called for more.

Not much at first glance but the "Black Eyed Dog" in the song is death.

Highly recommended but not if you're depressed in any way. I'm surprised a movie hasn't been made about this guy.
