Nico - Chelsea Girl

It’s one of those albums that creeps in to your life, especially that tune, ‘These Days’. I know it was written by Jackson Browne and it was a hit before that, but she just nails it. You have to be old enough, broad enough to start realising that that’s a great voice, that it’s got something in it that’s more than conventional singing. I just love all the arrangements, they’re unbelievable. I really got into strings from this, seeing how they can prop up a really fragile song.
