TIM BUCKLEY Greetings From L.A.
What are you listening to?
Re: What are you listening to?
Nice to see Tim out in public here.. I was captured by HELLO AND GOODBYE in the late 60s and there are a number of songs that I still love and should be classics. But this my genre of choice and know hardly anything. We used to doobie up, it was the times. I wonder if he is dated since some of those songs were so 60s. And I understand only vague that his son eclipsed him in popularity. In the album mentioned above he uses his what I take to be his natural fach, that is in the tenor range. In other songs (not in the album above) he purposely lowers his voice and I hate that. He is fantastic in HAG, absolutely brilliant. Is be considered forgotten? Who is better, Tim or Jeff? I have no idea. I have never even heard a song by Jeff?
How can anyone NOT like this? The use of voice is incredible.

I listen to TIM BUCKLEY occasionally, and Hello Goodbye is his best known album I expect. We are about the same I know a lot about JEFF BUCKLEY but have never taken much interest. I listen to Happy/Sad most often, but Greetings From L.A. I don't have a copy and like it best! Hell, I even have Lorca!laffite wrote: ↑February 19th, 2023, 5:49 pm ...

TIM BUCKLEY was definitely not a hit-maker, but that's part of the reason I like him.

I feel the only appropriate response here is, "I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...scared...!"

The Ballad Of Easy Rider by The Byrds- Nov 1969
A good album, big improvement over the last one. The title song is a beautiful, soothing ballad sung by McGuinn. Bassist John York wrote and sang "Fido" which does not fit in with the album. "Oil In My Lamp" is a good traditional song with nice harmonies. "Tulsa County Blue" is good country tune. "Jack Tarr The Sailor" is an old sea shanty and well sung by McGuinn sounding just like an old English sailor. The best track is the rousing and catchy "Jesus Is Just Allright". Next is an excellent version of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" with the best harmony singing on the record. Drummer Gene Parsons sings the next two songs, while he doesn't have a bad voice, it is not really outstanding either. "There Must Be Someone" is an ordinary song and "Gunga Din" only a little better. McGuinn takes over a poignant version of Woody Guthrie's "Deportee" about a plane crash of Mexican migrant workers. McGuinn's fascination with space travel ends the album with a short tribute to the recent moon landing on "Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins"

Untitled by The Byrds-Sep 1970
A double album, one live disc, the other new studio recordings. It's an uneven collection, some good stuff here and there. John York was let go and Skip Battin takes over on bass starting here. The live record has some good new songs "Lover Of The Bayou" a swampy Creedence-like rocker and a nice version of Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street". There is classic Byrd hits like "So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star', "Mr Tambourine Man" (though I wish they would have included more of Dylan's verses on this one) and "Mr Spaceman" to end Side 1. Side 2 consists of a boring 16 min jam session for "Eight Miles High".
The opener on the studio disc is the best, McGuinn sings a haunting tune about a wild horse with some spoken verses. "All Things" is another good McGuinn tune with ex Byrd Gram Parsons on harmony vocal. "Yesterday's Train" is a forgettable one sung by Gene Parsons. McGuinn has another beautiful one with "Just A Season". Clarence White sings one weak one "Truck Stop Girl" and a better one "Take A Whiff" with some good mandolin playing. The last and least song is Battin's "Well Come Back Home" a monotonous song that rambles for over 7 minutes. Battin's singing and writing does not fit in well with the Byrds.
