Tim Buckley
Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years. Buckley began his career based in folk music, but his subsequent albums experimented with jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, the avant-garde, and an evolving voice-as-instrument sound. He died at the age of 28 from a heroin and morphine overdose, leaving behind sons Taylor and Jeff. Early life and career Tim Buckley was born in Washington, D.C. on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1947, to Elaine (née Scalia), an Italian American, and Timothy Charles Buckley Jr., a decorated World War II veteran and son of Irish immigrants from Cork. He spent his early childhood in Amsterdam, New York, an industrial city about northwest of Albany. At five years old, Buckley began listening to his mother's progressive jazz recordings, particularly Miles Davis. Buckley's musical life began after his family moved to Bell Gardens in southern Calif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

DownBeat
' (styled in all caps) is an American music magazine devoted to "jazz, blues and beyond", the last word indicating its expansion beyond the jazz realm which it covered exclusively in previous years. The publication was established in 1934 in Chicago, Illinois. It is named after the "downbeat" in music, also called "beat one", or the first beat of a musical measure. ''DownBeat'' publishes results of annual surveys of both its readers and critics in a variety of categories.

Tim Buckley (album)
''Tim Buckley'' is the debut album by Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in October 1966. Most of the songs on it were co-written by Buckley and Larry Beckett while they were in high school. It was recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, California. The album was re-released in 2001 in a compilation with follow up album '' Goodbye and Hello'' by WEA/Elektra, then again in 2005, this time coupled with ''Greetings from L.A.''. Rhino Handmade Records reissued the album in 2011 as part of a two-disc set. The first disc contains both the stereo and mono versions of the album. The second disc contains 22 unreleased recordings Buckley made in 1965 with The Bohemians and in 1966 with Larry Beckett. Legacy In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger feels the album is Buckley's most straightforward and accessible, without the experimental touches that characterised his later work, though with an astounding lyrical and musical sophistication for a 19 ...

Goodbye And Hello (Tim Buckley Album)
''Goodbye and Hello'' is the second album by Tim Buckley, released in August 1967, recorded in Los Angeles, California, in June of the same year. The album was later re-released on January 22, 2001, in a compilation with debut album ''Tim Buckley'' by WEA/Elektra. In 2005 a 180-gram version of the LP was released on the label Four Men With Beards and is being distributed by City Hall Records. Recording The album was recorded during June 1967 in Los Angeles, and produced by Jerry Yester and Jac Holzman. Legacy Matthew Greenwald in a retrospective review for AllMusic felt that it is "an excellent and revolutionary album that was a quantum leap for both Tim Buckley and the audience". The album was included in the book '' 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die''. In 2000, it was voted number 516 in Colin Larkin's ''All Time Top 1000 Albums''.

Happy Sad (album)
''Happy Sad'' is the third album by American singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in April 1969. It was recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California and was produced by former Lovin' Spoonful members Zal Yanovsky and, coincidentally, his subsequent replacement Jerry Yester. It marked the beginning of Buckley's experimental period, as it incorporated elements of jazz that he had never used before. Many of the songs here represent a departure from the binary form that dominated much of his previous work. The sound of the album is characterized by David Friedman's vibraphone, an instrument which gives the album a more relaxed tone than Buckley's earlier work. The songs are much longer than on previous releases and this style continued through to later works. The vocals on the album are more drawn out than earlier performances and this represents the beginning of Buckley using his voice like an instrument. The lyrics on ''Happy Sad'' represent a change as Buckle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blue Afternoon
''Blue Afternoon'' is the fourth studio album by Tim Buckley, released in November 1969. It is Tim Buckley's first self-produced record and his debut for Herb Cohen and Frank Zappa's Straight record label. This was Buckley's fourth album after ''Tim Buckley'', '' Goodbye and Hello'', and '' Happy Sad''. ''Blue Afternoon'' used the same group of musicians as ''Happy Sad'', with the inclusion of drummer Jimmy Madison. Several tracks on ''Blue Afternoon'' are songs Buckley had intended to record on earlier albums but had not completed. "Chase the Blues Away" and "Happy Time" are numbers he had worked on in the summer of 1968 for possible inclusion on ''Happy Sad'' and demos can be heard on the Rhino label's '' Works in Progress'' album. ''Blue Afternoon'', like '' Starsailor'', was re-released as a stand-alone album on CD format only once in the United States, in 1989 on the Enigma Retro label. It was then later re-issued by Warners/Rhino Records UK in 2011 as part of th'Origi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Starsailor (album)
''Starsailor'' is the sixth studio album by Tim Buckley, released on Herb Cohen's Straight Records label in November 1970. ''Starsailor'' marks the moment Buckley's folk rock origins became invisible as he fully incorporated jazz rock and avant-garde styles into his music. Although it alienated elements of his fanbase upon release, it also contains his best known song, "Song to the Siren". This more accessible song was written much earlier than ''Starsailors newer material, originally in a more traditional folk arrangement, as shown on the later released compilation album '' Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology''. Bunk Gardner, a former member of the Mothers of Invention, joined Buckley's normal band to record the album. Also, Buckley began working again with lyricist Larry Beckett, after a three-album hiatus. Leontyne Price attended a concert in New York City during the supporting tour and told Buckley, "Boy, I wish they were writing things like that for us opera singers, ...

Lorca (album)
''Lorca'' is the fifth studio album by singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in 1970 on Elektra Records. It was named after Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, and was recorded simultaneously with ''Blue Afternoon'' (1969), though notably different in style. Its avant-garde approach breaks away from traditional songwriting styles, such as the verse/chorus binary form. Production ''Lorca'' is a move away from traditional pop music forms towards a free-form mix of jazz, avant-garde and folk. Musically, Buckley uses the lack of a constant rhythm section to drive the songs forward with his voice. Many songs make use of a chromatic scale which makes them stand in stark contrast to Buckley's earlier melodic works. The lyrics of ''Lorca'' also represent a departure from his previous traditional pop-music writing, instead Buckley uses a more abstract descriptive style, avoiding direct narratives and standard song themes. This is a reflection of the poetry, such as the works of poet Fed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sefronia
''Sefronia'' is the eighth album by singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in September 1973. Production The album was produced by Denny Randell. It was recorded at Paramount Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California. Other tracks were recorded at Record Plant, in New York, and at Devonshire Sound Studios in North Hollywood. Critical reception AllMusic wrote that Buckley's "voice isn't as stunning as usual on his next-to-last album, but the bigger problem is the material, which is usually forced and pedestrian." ''Trouser Press'' wrote: "Denny Randell’s anachronistic-on-impact LA white-soul production, which pours syrupy strings over several numbers, is hardest to digest on poorly chosen middle-of-the-road love songs that didn’t suit Buckley at all." ''NME'' declared that the album is "widely agreed to be Buckley’s most over-produced and underwhelming effort." Track listing Side One #"Dolphins" (Fred Neil) – 3:10 #"Honey Man" (Larry Beckett, Tim Buckley) – 4:10 #" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
