Tim Buckley Artist Snapshot:

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.

Review

Q (p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]s warm as an LA sunrise."

Title Note

Netherlands edition.

By 1972, Buckley had grown so disenchanted with the music business and its commercial expectations that he composed this perverse opus as a mockery of that sleazy, bottom-line world. Bitterness seems to fuel many of the songs, which describe the sordid state L.A. had gotten into by the early '70s, stomping the already rotting corpse of flower power still further into the ground. Gone was Buckley the tender folkpoet, and in his place was a leering, libidinous lounge lizard who plied a slick funk-rock designed as a backdrop to makeout scenes.

Tunes like "Move With Me" and "Get on Top" leave even less to the imagination than your favorite R. Kelly song. This being a Tim Buckley album, though, the songs are full of assured swing and deft melodic sense. Needless to say, Buckley sings the hell out of every tune, his voice gliding and swooping elegantly over the music. He may have lost his innocence by this point, but he clearly hadn't lost his touch.
