Tim Buckley
Tim Buckley, the remarkable 1966 debut from the influential singer-songwriter, captures the beginning of one of the most distinctive voices in modern music. Across a brief but extraordinary recording career, Buckley evolved from delicate folk troubadour to fearless experimental artist, and this first album offers a glimpse of the immense talent that would soon redefine the boundaries of folk, rock and avant-garde music.
Recorded for Elektra Records, the album was produced by the same renowned team behind early recordings by The Doors — label founder Jac Holzman, producer Paul Rothchild and engineer Bruce Botnick. The sessions also featured an impressive lineup of West Coast musical figures including arranger Jack Nitzsche, keyboardist Van Dyke Parks and drummer Billy Mundi, alongside Buckley’s close collaborators Lee Underwood on guitar and Jim Fielder on bass.
Even at just nineteen years old, Buckley demonstrates remarkable songwriting sophistication, blending poetic lyrics with lush arrangements and a vocal style that hints at the extraordinary range he would later develop. The album’s introspective folk sound and rich orchestration provide a captivating introduction to an artist who would go on to become one of the most influential cult figures in singer-songwriter and experimental music.
This remastered edition is pressed on 150g Coke Clear vinyl, offering a beautifully presented version of Buckley’s landmark debut for collectors and fans of classic folk and 1960s singer-songwriter recordings. A timeless starting point for exploring the singular artistry of Tim Buckley.
