One of the most remarkable, adventurous artists of the late-1960s/early-'70s singer-songwriter scene, Tim Buckley possessed a superhuman, multi-octave range and a wild imagination. He moved from folkie troubadour-isms to a jazz-inflected sound to the avant-garde to pop/R&B, all in the space of a few years, before his untimely death in 1975. Nearly two decades after his death, his estranged son Jeff Buckley (who bore an uncanny vocal and physical resemblance to his father) became a much-loved recording artist. In tragic irony, the younger Buckley also died at a young age, drowning in the Mississippi river.

First released in 1990, it was a landmark in the re-discovery of the creative genius of Tim Buckley. Contains performances of 'Morning Glory' and 'Once I Was'. 17 tracks over 2 CDs in a slimline double jewel box. Product NotesIt's been said that Tim Buckley was the most powerful singer of his generation. Even if that appraisal forgets Bob Dylan, this two-disc set makes a hell of a defense. At the very least his voice could do things few could: it soared beyond any familiar register and held notes long past the breaking point. He had learned from jazz vocalists like Sarah Vaughn, but he put technical prowess into the service of a strange, trancelike state. On this evening, before a hushed, receptive audience, he seemed to be composing visionary poetry with every vocal surge. His band created an Astral Weeks-like sound, and included Lee Underwood on guitar, David Friedman on vibes, and Danny Thompson on bass. They follow his every subtle and explosive turn with effortless energy. --Ray Francis Kasten If You Enjoy "Dream Letter (Double CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Dream Letter (Double CD)" by Tim Buckley (Artist)There are no customer reviews yet.
