Family Tree is a 2007 compilation album of home recordings by English singer/songwriter Nick Drake. The album is notable for the appearance of Nick's sister, Gabrielle, on one track and the contribution of two original songs performed by Nick's mother, Molly Drake. Recorded before the release of his first album Five Leaves Left, most of the tracks on the album circulated on bootlegs in the years before official release due to the generosity of Drake's family in sharing them with fans. The album reached #35 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart, making it Drake's first album to chart in America.
All songs written and performed by Nick Drake except where noted.
The Sunbeam 2xLP (UK) edition includes the song "Betty and Dupree" (2:17) as track 8, displacing the rest of the track list accordingly.
Nick Drake performs vocals and acoustic guitar except on those performed by Molly Drake, and clarinet on the Mozart piece. Gabrielle Drake and Molly Drake appear as noted.
