Tim Buckley - Starsailor-The Anthology - 1966-1974 (2011)




Tim Buckley - Starsailor-The Anthology - 1966-1974 (2011) @320



Tim Buckley’s work was remarkable for its reach and range, with numerous stylistic shifts, including folk, sex-funk and a sort of vocal avant-garde jazz, during his eight year recording career, from his December 1966 debut to ‘Look At The Fool’, released in November 1974, seven months before his death from an accidental heroin overdose, aged 28.

As for his voice it was a dazzlingly flexible instrument, capable of octave leaps and the sort of daring normally expected of the free jazz giants. This best of charts this fearless artist’s progress from teen folkie to starsailing voyager at the forefront of the radically unusual. (Amazon)
