I keep forgetting to update.. oops! Sorry! Today I'm going to post a Tim Buckley album, which over the past month has become one of my favorite records. Tim Buckley, of course, was a folk singer famous for his powerful voice, and being the father of artist Jeff Buckley. Starsailor is one of Buckley's later albums which were more experimental than those in his earlier career. Instead of playing just folk music, Buckley incorporated elements of free jazz and experimental styles. The result is a really beautiful and haunting album. Though the record features some of his more "inaccessible" work, it also features his best known track, "Song to the Siren."
Though quite different than his earlier work, it's a really great album. It was the first that I ever heard by him, and is still my favorite.
After the record didn't gain as much commercial success, his drug and alcohol problem worsened. In 1975, Buckley died of an overdose of alcohol and heroin.
