What you have to know about Tim Buckley is his voice. You will never have heard any voice like it. His voice was unique. Ranging from falsetto to bass, his ability to extract empathetic emotion in the listener is unsurpassed. He described it himself like this in a song: "Oblivion carries me on his shoulder. Beyond the suns I speak and circuits shiver." - Starsailor

"Nothing in rock, folk-rock or anything else prepares you for a Tim Buckley album, and it's funny to hear his work described as blues, modified rock'n'roll and raga rock when, in fact, there is no name yet for the places he and his voice can go."
Tim Buckley's voice, his music, his albums are impossible to describe, it must be experienced.

Compay Segundo passed away PDF Print E-mail
ImageCompay Segundo of Buena Vista Social Club dies at 95

HAVANA -- Compay Segundo, the wiry, cigar-smoking musician who was nearing 90 when he soared from obscurity to worldwide fame with the "Buena Vista Social Club," has died in Havana. He was 95.

Compay, who performed in public less than a week before his death, died of kidney failure Sunday night, said his granddaughter, Frances Valeria Repilado.

Born Maximo Francisco Repilado Munoz, Compay carried traditional Cuban music to the world. He was honored with a Grammy as part of the "Buena Vista Social Club" in his 90th year and helped draw attention to other aging but talented Cuban musicians.

Compay set audiences dancing from Havana to Paris with hits such as "Chan Chan," which brought modern appeal to a musical genre that had largely been forgotten even at home in Cuba.
