Summary:
While earning little recognition during his lifetime, Tim Buckley has become a sort of cult icon in the wake of his uncovering. Since Buckley’s popularity reached a new plateau, his work has been widely lauded from his jazz-folk beginnings to his revolutionary avant-folk albums and his more accessible jazz-rock output as some of the most inventive songwriting of the '60s and early '70s. Along with his lyricist Larry Beckett, Buckley wrote a ton of material existing in live performances, compilation albums of multiple takes and outtakes to go along with his studio masters.
Aside from his most ambitious work, and especially on his first three albums, Buckley has a very pleasant, soft, and laryngeal tone suited for folk music. He also wasn’t afraid to thrown in rasp for his '70s jazz-rock material. Buckley’s rather thin head voice can sometimes be indistinguishable from his falsetto, and both can be heard in their full glory on his most avant-garde album “Starsailor”, where he employed anything from wailing harmonies, to yodeling and distorted snarling. Tim Buckley’s disinclination to stay inside his comfort zone paints him as one of those artists whose experimentalism in new musical territories paved a way to which future, more sophisticated approaches owe a great deal to.
