"River Man" is my favorite song by Nick Drake, and this is a SPECTACULAR rendition of this song.

[dumena]

She is the most exciting solo singer/guitarist I've listened to since Joni Mitchell.

Nick is smiling.
This is astounding.

[lindahandley]

I think Nick would have been thrilled with this. I can only imagine their blended voices singing this. She has the voice of an angel.

[Dan_Frechette_Songwriter]

This is the sound and expression of an old soul making music. Been around many times.

Madison, you are absolutely stunning... this is by far the best rendition of a Nick Drake song I've ever heard. I'm speechless.

[bradbackman]

Absolutely beautiful rendition. If Nick Drake had only known how many people his music would touch and inspire he might've stuck around a while longer.

[fandangofilms]

I'm a huge Nick Drake fan, and wow she really brings a beautiful feeling to River Man, without pushing too far. Madison keeps a soft rawness to it. Love the sound of the buses in the background.

[janbam]

The way the wind, flowers and machines join in is pure magic.

[TheRyanHeffner]

Madison you got this. Good to know God still makes great new musical artists

[johnlittle]

Can she cover anything and make it less than absolutely incredible and worthy of the original? This is outstanding.

[davidbarbour]

I actually like how the street noise intrudes at the end--as if the impossible magical spell of this song must eventually be broken.

[PondOfGlue]

Holy... holy shit. This might be the best cover of ANYTHING I have EVER heard. I’m astounded.

[richardgleichmann]

Here it is 2023 just a few days after the GRAMMYs.. First heard and saw you sing this with Chris Thile.. You are always able to catch the essence or complete song with one instrument and solo voice.. I just love that.. (true talent and a LOT of practice)... Just thanks for these Maddi..🎶👍

[ironhead]

One of the most ethereal songs ever written, by one of the most ethereal voices ever. And you somehow made it your own on this cover. Gorgeous and powerful.

[davidfreyne]

Jesus... I've said this before but I think you've just done what Jeff Buckley did to Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'... 'River Man' is my number one song of all time and you have done it serious justice here. I love this version so much... Thank you for your passion.

[michaelharshberger]

I almost forget to breathe...so enchanting, haunting is this recording.

[beachcomber]

That song is haunting enough on the original version. She I am blown away to be honest. Just fantastic. Madison has it all.

[thenakedflamesrobertoliver]

Astounding - the voice, the playing, tone, feel, atmosphere, you're just way out there in a magical world beyond.

First, very brave to take on Nick Drake’s work and then veer in a direction that makes it unique but still mystical. Lovely, haunting. Bravo.
