Music reviews of Best of Tim Buckley (Mcup)
Music Review: Songs from the Magician who once was
Rating: 5 Stars
This new single CD Rhino compilation of Tim Buckley's music is a beautiful testimony to his incomparable talents.
The remastered material featured here is excerpted from the nine studio albums issued before Buckley's death in 1975. Track 10 is, however, an alternate take already issued on posthumous CD releases.
These nine albums were originally issued on four labels: Elektra (4), Straight (2), Bizarre/Warner (1) Bros and Discreet/Bizarre (2) during the 1966-1974 period.
I have worshipped all aspects of Buckley's music (the singing, the compositions, the arrangements, the musicians' backing) since I bought his "Goodbye and Hello" Elektra LP in 1967. Contrary to some fans, I love (to varying degrees) all of the original Buckley albums (his last three LP's received a lot of, IMO, unfounded criticism from some quarters). To me, Buckley was an extraordinarily gifted singer-songwriter, one of my favourites indeed. The material gathered here ranks from good (and I mean: good!) to truly exceptional. .
Buckey was definitely a LP orientated recording artist. During the course of his career, his music kept evolving at a fast pace and in often wildly different directions. Therefore, any collection is always going to be the subject of some debate. But there is certainly not one track here that I wish Rhino had left out.
I will also add that, in 2001, Rhino issued a remastered, lavishly packaged, 2-CD, 33- track anthology under the title of "Morning Glory". Seven out of the eighteen titles featured on the single CD under review did NOT appear on the earlier set. Moreover, besides the alternate take mentioned above, this CD uses the original studio version of "I Had a Talk with My Woman" which appeared in a live version on the 2-CD set. The scope of this 2-CD set is, of course, broader. It is also more expensive.
Therefore, if you are relatively new to Buckley's oeuvre, and are interested in just the one CD, this compilation will offer you definitely more than a glimpse of the musical treasures he left behind. Prepare yourself for a sheer aural delight!

Description of Best of Tim Buckley (Mcup)
Comprehensive retrospective of the legendary singer/songwriter's groundbreaking, genre-defying work!These dozen-and-a-half songs provide an overview of the entirety of Tim Buckley's career. Between 1966 and 1974 he released a remarkable nine albums: remarkable not for their quantity (the '60s were the era of two albums a year) but for his fearless quest to follow his artistic impulses and instincts, no matter where they went or how they may have befuddled his fan base. Actually, the beginning (Tim Buckley, Goodbye and Hello, Happy Sad) and ending (Greetings from L.A., Sefronia, Look at the Fool) trios of releases fit into prevailing trends. The former presented a folk singer with arrangements that moved from orchestral filigree to psychedelic pop; the latter found him fronting a rock band with a predilection for funkish workouts. It's the three in between (Blue Afternoon, Lorca, Starsailor) that confounded expectations, bringing in jazz settings and luxuriating and improvising across the extended songs. This set is a potent look at a true artist. --David Greenberger
