Tim Buckley was a folk singer/songwriter in the 1960s and early 1970s. He experimented with music and improvisation, as seen in his albums "Lorca" and "Starsailor". Despite his efforts to transition into pop music, he faced little success. His later albums went unnoticed by critics and the public.
Tragically, Tim Buckley passed away at the age of 28 due to a lethal combination of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose. This occurred the day after completing his final show on a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.
Buckley is also known as the father of singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley, who tragically died young while on his way to achieving musical success in the 1990s.

Tim Buckley

Vocally and instrumentally haunting, Starsailor was unlike much else at the time of release; Buckley chose words for their phonetic sounds instead of meaning, and admitted to using other languages if an english word didn't suffice. Different from his first three albums, this personal album shares the same sort of response as Lorca. Though - like so many classic albums of our time - disliked by fans on release - it has become known as one of Buckley's best works, certainly from an experimental point of view. Includes the shimmering genius of 'Song to the Siren'.
