2011 two CD collection from the late singer/songwriter. Tim Buckley's work was remarkable for it's reach and range, with numerous stylistic shifts, including Folk, sex-funk and a sort of vocal Avant-Garde Jazz, during his eight year recording career, from his December 1966 debut to Look at the Fool, released in November 1974, seven months before his death from an accidental heroin overdose, aged 28. As for his voice it was a dazzlingly flexible instrument, capable of octave leaps and the sort of daring normally expected of the free jazz giants. This best of charts this fearless artist's progress from teen folkie to starsailing voyager at the forefront of the radically unusual. Music Club Deluxe. (Amazon)
Great singer songwriter, as was his son Jeff. I love This Mortal Coil's cover of Song To the Siren
ReplyDeleteYes Great singer-songwriter, for me it's the albums "Goodbye & Hello", "Happy Sad" and "Blue Afternoon" that I listened to a lot. Thank you for this Anthology!
