have you guys heard much of this amazing folk singer from the 60-70's? he wasn't that well known. his son jeff buckley is much more well known. just finished reading dream brother, about tim and jeff it's awesome. what do you all think?

im trying to breathe life into this folk forum.

I'm not sure how I over looked this when browsing through the folk forum like I find myself doing more than I should, seeing how not too many posts go into it.

He's an outstanding sound writer. Happy Sad is a must have album. He also has a great BBC album, as most are.

I really like the song Dolphins at the moment, there's a great clip from OGWT on YouTube.

Think Song to the Siren must be his best known song

but so many great songs and probably my favorite voice

Tim Buckley was more well known in his era than Jeff was in his. I've been thru both, so I can judge. Tim also had talent that Jeff never did - not to dis Jeff, but Tim was a phenom.

I`m a big fan of Tim.Goodbye And Hello and Happy Sad are my two favorites.I know some might think of him as throwaway hippie stuff but give him a chance.

A great singer indeed. Not only did he have an incredible range but he really knew how to use it! Listen to 'Starsailor' and 'Lorca' in particular for evidence of this.

I think I've heard every album of Tim's, and there's none that I don't like. BLUE AFTERNOON gets played a lot for a mellow, uh, afternoon kinda feeling. STARSAILOR is best for alarming my stoner friends. LORCA probably gets played the least (along with his first two records which were sort of underdeveloped although both have high points) but the live ones from England and the L.A. Troubadour get played a whole ton. Just as I was starting to wonder what else you could do with your voice than sing a melody, a neighbor lent me the TROUBADOUR show and changed my life forever - I used to fall asleep after a bong rip with "I Don't Need It To Rain" on the stereo and those crazed vocals seeping into my brain!
