If you want to know about Tim Buckley, listen to the music. Listen to the nine albums. They are made in a variety of styles and are impossible to describe. The style of the albums is not important. 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.
