Tim Buckley

[counsillor cox]

Anybody heard of/are fans of Tim Buckley? Im a huge fan but dont know many people who have heard of him. He was Jeff Buckleys dad and like Jeff got taken from us too soon. Definitely worth a listen. Anyone?

One of the greatest songs ever written was by a Mr Tim Buckley

Although there is a much better version...



very much ignored or overshadowed by his son, erstwhile partner once of Liz Fraser, she who sings above

Great musician family. A genuine tragedy that they both left this world far too soon

Done a tune called phantasmagoria in two, the live acoustic version is mindblowing, you guys heard it?

 

[magicjuan]

another cover by the same collective at 4AD

there are more, but just shows how talented a writer he was

A great talent although I lean more towards jeff.
A gifted and cursed family.

Apperently died snorting heroin, thought it was coke, supplied by a friend, and the said friend done time in prison for it.

Jeff's death was just ridiculous ! I still rate Grace as a truly great record. I hate thinking 'what if' about him . Same with Lennon.
