  Tim Buckley
Tim Buckley was a legendary, but half-forgotten L.A. folk singer who died in 1975 of an accidental heroin overdose.
Buckley was signed to Elektra in 1966, just as that label was making a major move into the rock market by recruiting local L.A. bands like Love and the Doors.
Another sidelight in the Buckley tragedy is the career of his son Jeff Buckley, who died in a swimming accident while recording his second solo LP, released as a double CD in 1998.

 Rhino -- Tim Buckley - Rzine #946
Buckley's considerable talent was matched by a compulsion to alienate anyone in a position to help his music find a wider audience, and that tendency, paired with his early death at the age 28 from an accidental overdose, has relegated his work to the margins of music history.
Buckley's label (Elektra) was grooming him to be a user-friendly singer-songwriter along the lines of Jackson Browne; apparently they'd failed to notice that every note he sang, from the very beginning of his career to the end, was ethereal, haunted and freighted with profound sadness.
Buckley's version of the tune is the definitive one, however; he infuses the song with a tone of wistfulness and regret that's inexplicably downbeat and weary for a young man of 20.

 Ruth McNerlan Guest Reviews : Tim Buckley
Buckley just lets go, his voice wails and howls and dances, and the musicians all sound as if they’re having the time of their lives.
Buckley's multi-octave voice suits the melancholy mood of the album just fine.....and that's a big reason why this album feels 500 times more personal than anything recorded by a "singer-songwriter." He might've been making music only for himself at this point, but that's why his music became more interesting with time.....it was HIS music.
Tim Buckley was lightyears ahead of early 70's music, and it shocked and angered many of his fans.

 Tim Buckley: The Best of Tim Buckley: Pitchfork Record Review
This new single-disc compilation of the singer's decade-long career, which was marked by critical praise but little commercial success, is marred by a choppy tracklist and a scribbled portrayal of the singer and his output.
Buckley's first two albums-- Tim Buckley (1966) and Goodbye and Hello (1967)-- are represented by six tracks that showcase his powerful vocals and his and Larry Beckett's literary songwriting (they allegedly drew inspiration from ancient Greek poetry), but these songs in this order don't hold together very well.
The cumbersome string arrangement and Buckley's solemn performance on "Morning Glory" sound silly when you realize how earnestly he's emphasizing the word "hobo." "Carnival Song" is a dated 60s folk theatre-piece, and "Goodbye and Hello" is a nine-minute, multipart epic about America written in impenetrable Dylanspeak and reaching ridiculous melodrama well before the halfway point.

 Tim Buckley Album Reviews
Starsailor was Tim Buckley’s third album to be released in the space of a year and is the most innovative and challenging work of his career.
Tim Buckley considered ‘Starsailor’ to be his masterpiece, but commercially it was a failure.
Buckley’s version is heavily orchestrated, very emotive, and lets Buckley show a softer side of himself and his voice that you don’t get to witness on a lot of his own material.

 Amazon.com: Dream Letter: Live in London 1968: Music: Tim Buckley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Buckley music was so much more than a young man opening his heart and conscience by singing love songs and protest songs, strumming on a twelve-string guitar - his music was about truth, first and last, beginning to end.
Tim was always true to his spirit, and it shone through his music in a way that few others were able to accomplish.
Buckley is a prime example of the voice being an instrument, of the belief that these sounds were coming from an otherworldly source and Tim was merely the medium through whom they passed.

 Tim Buckley - Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology - at Rhino
Gifted with good looks, talent, and a multi-octave voice, Tim Buckley was born in Washington, D.C., on Valentine’s Day 1947, and raised in Orange County, California, just south of L.A. The singer/songwriter/musician/producer signed his first label deal before he was 20, and cut nine remarkable albums between 1966 and 1975.
Buckley’s best music reflected the turbulent ’60s, yet doesn’t sound the least bit dated, conceptually or stylistically.
(Two decades later, Tim’s son, Jeff Buckley, achieved critical success as a musician himself before his own tragic demise in 1997.) Produced in conjunction with the Buckley family and estate, Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology is the first comprehensive collection of the legendary singer/songwriter’s most essential works, gathered together on two CDs.

Buckley, unhappy with his relationship with Elektra, had signed with Straight -- and the label began releasing albums by him before his contract with Elektra was fulfilled, causing a bit of confusion in the marketplace at the time.
This was not the first of Tim's albums that I bought--that honor goes to "Dream Letter: Live in London, 1968," which stands as one of the best all-time live albums ever released and as a testament to what an underrecognized talent Tim was.
Yester broke the bad news to Tim, who was understandably upset, then hit upon the idea of using the surf to cover the background noise (since they were roughly the same level, in any case) as it fit in somewhat with the theme of the song (being "on Pacific Coast Highway").
