Engineer John Wood recalled that \"[Drake] would track live, singing and playing along with the string section\" without the use of any overdubbing.\n\nThe studio's environment was also an important factor as it had multiple levels to it which enabled the creation of interesting sounds and atmospheres.\n\nAmong 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.\" \n\nThe 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.\" https://tinyurl.com/yad35w8a", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
