Here is a song by John Cale, formerly of Velvet underground, played on a couple Nick Drake records not to mention production and much much music after this era.  The guitar player is Chris Spedding, tasteful, reserved fills, sending waves of warmth through the tune.  It sounds like a ballad beautiful and simple, about the wrestling of the North American continent by European explorers and the breaking of the native culture and the rise of the industrial world.  How fitting that such a destructive process is set to such a lovely tune.

PS- Capt AKAK….this song is off of FEAR by John Cale, released in 1974….ENO is all over this and i think he produced it….another record to fucking melt to.

Enjoy…..
