Tim Buckley

Buckley began performing revamped versions of material drawn from his whole career (except Starsailor and Lorca) as a response to the desires of his audience which he had always spurned in the past. Neither album sold well: Lorca alienated his folk base while Blue Afternoon was widely criticized as boring and tepid – "[not] even good sulking music" as one critic wrote. Later in the year he played various Orange County coffeehouses (such as the White Room in Buena Park) and the Monday night hootenannies at the famed Los Angeles' Troubadour.

Though he did not find commercial success during his lifetime his influence is felt today by people such as the English indie rock band Starsailor who named themselves after his album of the same name and he is much admired now for his uniqueness and innovation as a musician including his great vocal range and singing ability. Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14 1947 – June 29 1975) was an American singer and musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was mostly folk oriented but over time his music incorporated jazz psychedelia funk soul avant-garde and an evolving "voice as instrument" sound.
