Five
Leaves Left was recorded between May 1968 and April 1969 at Sound
Techniques in London, England. Engineer John Wood recalled that "[Drake]
would track live, singing and playing along with the string section"
without the use of any overdubbing. For the song "River Man", producer
Joe Boyd described Drake playing on a stool in the centre of the studio
while surrounded by a semi-circle of instruments. The studio's
environment was also an important factor as it had multiple levels to it
which enabled the creation of interesting sounds and atmospheres.[1][6]
Among
his various backing musicians, Drake was accompanied by Richard
Thompson from Fairport Convention and Danny Thompson of Pentangle.
Robert Kirby, a friend of Drake's from Cambridge University, arranged
the stringed instruments for several tracks while Harry Robinson
arranged the strings for "River Man".[7] The title of the album is a
reference to the old Rizla cigarette papers packet, which used to
contain a printed note near the end saying "Only five leaves left".
