TIM BUCKLEY
with LEE UNDERWOOD, JOHN MILLER, DAVID FRIEDMAN, CARTER C.C. COLLINS
One of the great rock vocalists of the 1960s, Tim Buckley drew from folk, psychedelic rock, and progressive jazz
to create a considerable body of adventurous work in his brief lifetime. His multi-octave range was capable of not
just astonishing power, but great emotional expressiveness, swooping from sorrowful tenderness to anguished wailing.
His restless quest for new territory worked against him commercially: by the time his fans had hooked into his latest album,
he was onto something else entirely, both live and in the studio. In this sense he recalled artists such
as Miles Davis and David Bowie, who were so eager to look forward and change that
they confused and even angered listeners who wanted more stylistic consistency

Easily Tim Buckley's most underrated album, Happy Sad was another departure
for the eclectic Southern California-based singer/songwriter. After the success
of the widely acclaimed Goodbye and Hello, Buckley mellowed enough to explore his jazz roots.
Sounding like Fred Neil's Capitol-era albums, Buckley and his small, acoustic-based
ensemble weave elegant, minimalist tapestries around the six Buckley originals.
The effect is completely mesmerizing. On "Buzzin' Fly" and "Strange Feelin'," you are
slowly drawn into Buckley's intoxicating vision. The extended opus in the middle of the record,
"Love From Room 109," is an intense, complex composition. Lovingly under-produced
by Jerry Yester and Zal Yanovsky, this is one of the finest records of the late '60s...(AllMusic)
