Greetings From L.A.

Parts of this album goes harder than it has any right to. 7 ?s out of 10 lizard wizards

Just a bunch of bullshit in an album Fav song: Sweet Surrender

Surprisingly bluesy and upbeat, with psychedelic rock vibes. Not what I expected from Tim Buckley knowing his other music. The closest to this would be the Doors, probably. I expected this to be way more mellow, it’s like discovering Tim Buckley’s wild side. Cool organ, but otherwise feels relatively standard to me. Too avant-garde for me.

This is one of the best albums ever?? I feel like I could have made these sounds and recorded them.

Actually not bad. The first song started, I thought 'Oh no here we go', but I still gave it a chance. Certainly a man's man kinda album. It played in my headphones while doing yard work and by the end of the album I thought I don't think I really heard much. I think I switched my mind off. In saying that I didn't once think 'I need to stop this'.

Nothing remarkable.

“Do the Monkey Rub” ….

Swing and a miss. Wrong Buckley. Did we get Jeff Buckley's "Grace" album yet? I'm sure it's gotta be on this list somewhere. If it is not, it should replace "Greetings From L.A.". "Grace" isn't really my cup of tea, but I still believe that it is an album that everyone should listen to at least once. After a while, this album just seemed like it was wasting my time.

my first 1 star album of this project! 1 star means i couldn't even finish listening. i got through four songs; tim's vocal range on Sweet Surrender is clearly impressive, but most of this album feels too... cocaine-y for me, or maybe heroin-y. it's like listening to your older brother's band practicing in your house and you're forced to hear them jam for weeks and sometimes you'll catch a riff that's interesting but mostly it's just four guys doing drugs and noodling, which doesn't impress me much.

It’s been over a year since I reviewed a Tim Buckley album (Goodbye and Hello), and over two years since I reviewed Happy Sad (that review that says “Crappy/Bad” will randomly pop into my head and make me chuckle). I thought Happy Sad was fine, but I liked Goodbye and Hello quite a bit more. I’m hoping that I’ll enjoy Greetings From L.A. just as much as I enjoyed Goodbye and Hello, if not more. I’d place Greetings From L.A. between Tim’s other two albums on this list, but it’s closer to Goodbye and Hello in terms of quality. Like Goodbye and Hello, I thought Tim Buckley’s vocals on this album were great, and there were some excellent arrangements on this album as well. Of the eight songs here, I only thought one of them was a dud, and even though these songs all brought something unique and different to the table in terms of their sound, the psychedelic rock sound tied them all together nicely (Wikipedia says this album is closer to funk, which I strongly disagree with). Lyrically though, this album wasn’t nearly as good as Goodbye and Hello. There were some interesting themes to some of the lyrics on this album (more on that below) that just weren’t my jam. Those lyrics weren’t enough to take away from my enjoyment of the musical components, but enough to drag the overall album down a bit for me. I’ve included my notes for each individual song below: “Move With Me” started off fine, but I really liked it when the backing vocals kicked in. Tim’s vocals were great, and the piano and saxophone sounded really good too. Apparently, Tim enjoyed life’s carnal pleasures quite a bit though, and he’s not afraid to sing about his love for black women. That’s certainly an artistic choice to include in your lyrics. Is this whole album going to be about sex? Man, Tim guy loves to get laid and then sing about it. I do like the percussion and the organ on “Get On Top,” and it’s got a very fun sound overall. The vocals are great once more, and the bass line is slick. I love Tim’s little vocal fills are really fun too. We’re at “Sweet Surrender,” and Tim is batting a perfect 1.000 on sex songs on this album. His vocals are great once again though, and the string arrangement is excellent. Despite this variation in sound, this is still a really cohesive album. Second side of the album starts off with a big shift from the end of the first side, and I think that “Nighthawkin’” was the weakest song on the album. The vocals are good, but that’s it. Thankfully, “Devil Eyes” as better than Nighthawkin’. I liked the chord progression that was used, and the percussion was good too. The vocals and organ playing were great as well, and I was happy to hear more of those weird vocal fills. “Hong Kong Bar” was awesome. I loved the little blues guitar riff, and the handclaps add a raw feeling to the song that I enjoyed. And to close out the album, we’re back with another sex song. Well played Tim, I thought you’d gotten that out of your system on side one of this album. I do like the sound of this song though, and when the strings kick in, it sounded really great. There’s another batch of really good vocals to close this album out as well. Greetings From L.A. was short of five stars for me, but musically, it was great, and I really enjoyed Tim Buckley’s vocals. I’d never heard of Tim before I started this project, but I’m glad that I got to listen to three of his albums that all brought different things to the table.

Good, but all the songs sound almost exactly the same.

Interesting. Again, not mind blowing.

Pentecostal racist rapist rock great backing band and I can here from where Jeff got his pipes

An incredible, psychadelic, funky 70s rock n roll. Songs are great, jams are great and a really energetic singer with a charismatic voice. 5/5

This is my second Tim Buckley album in a row and wtf this doesn't even sound like the same artist. I guess kudos to him for re-inventing himself, I just wish he didn't.

Sounds like a bog standard pub bands where the only guy with talent is the bass player. At least we have his son to listen to.

Not my thing. Decent guitar chops but not my jam. Like doors meet dire straits

3/5

On the surface and initial glance, it just seems like a jazz musician trying to mainstream himself with some steamy energy. But there are some really fun and different things going on beneath the surface. While the instrumentation is a standard set-up for a country/honkytonk sound, the structure is not at all set up in any sort of standard. Clearly the jazz influences for the structural flow are utilized here and I think it opens up the space for Tim's vocals to do a number. And I mean do a number. Maybe, depending on what you like or what you are used to, his voice may not sound good to your ears. I wont be passing judgement on what is good and what is not, however, this is not the same kind of vocal argument that people like to talk about when considering some like say, Bobby Dyl. Whether you like the sound or not, Tim Buckley's vocals are very complex and impressive. When the album first started I thought he was just going to be singing country. Nope. Because that high end goes nasty. And is difficult to do and switch between so easily. Also - his country vocals alone were some of the cleanest and clearest I've heard from the VAST majority of male country singer. Come at me, we'll talk. I'll be right. Add in the ridiculous vocal control needed to combine that with his high-end chest/falsetto horny sounds? Pretty wild. A little screechy. Entirely impressive. Also consider that the way he sings on this album, and the country tone in general isnt really at all how he sounds on early albums? C'mon. Truly just being objective here. Gotta give credit when its due. 8.1/10 4

Daddy was pretty happy with this one. Not big on the scatting but liked the vocal range in general. Not anything I’d be running back to relisten

Tim's son be like "My name Jeff" amirite boys? Tim sounds like a bit of a freak which I love, Move With Me is a good vibe so far. This is a head bopper. Get on Top is super groovy, also he's so real for that. Amirite boys? Woman on top amirite? Where are my Detroiters enjoyers (https://youtu.be/JH-D5jShqWE?si=u3IRqO5Mio5Vzwe9)? Anyway, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying this so far. Also he hit the high voice and said "Well, like a bitch dog in heat mama we had those bed springs a squeakin' all day long" I don't even know if you can say that Tim but I'm not gonna stop you because that shit was fire. Also he starts rambling about talking in tongues then acts like he's eating out the microphone this dude's a fucking freak I love it. I didn't know you could be this horny in 1972 I thought they'd put you in an institution. Tim Buckley walked so modern day gooners could run. Tim opens up Sweet Surrender with "Now you wanna know the reason why I cheated on you? Well, I had to be a hunter again. This little man had to try to make love feel new again" and I would be lying my ass off if I told you I was surprised. You can't keep a freak like this on a leash. Moral grandstanding aside I'm really loving this. Tim has pretty crazy range, and he's not afraid to play around with his voice and go all over the map when he's hitting notes. He goes high, he gets gruff, he's got a very charismatic way of singing that's super fun to listen to. One major takeaway I've had from listening to all these old albums through this challenge is that they used to have way more fun doing this shit. They would try things, and sometimes it didn't work, but it was at least different. Sweet Surrender is a really beautiful track. Nighthawkin' is hilarious, the whole premise is essentially that Tim lies to somebody about serving in the military so that he doesn't get stabbed. He does say some unsavory stuff about what he wants to do to a Vietnamese person before dawn but in his defense he's quoting the old vet singing in the backseat of his taxi. He still didn't have to say all that though if I'm being real. My takeaway is that he's anti-Vietnam War but it's admittedly not very clear. Devil Eyes is more of the same but in a good way. Groovy, jazzy instrumental with Tim just doing whatever the fuck over it. I love when he just starts foaming at the fucking mouth on the mic. Just starts making noises. It's genuinely so much fun. Hong Kong Bar kind of came and went, it's a nice slower song but I like Tim at his most voracious and ravenous. Enough of this tame shit let's close out the album with a freak show. Perfect, he's talking about getting beat whipped and spanked by a woman. He said "I wanna be your victim, your sweet little victim of love". Kinky bastard. I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Tim was gone too soon, would have loved to see what else this guy could've done if he didn't die at 28. Tragic family really but he did put this banger of an album out before he went. Strong 4, could see myself giving it a 5 but I'm reeling it in. This was fire. I know some of y'all absolutely hated this record and I think you're just afraid of a horny man with a microphone.

Not terrible.

- I already have an aversion to this guys son so this pick is not doing any favors. - okay nevermind, I’m actually surprised to find that anyone gave or gives a shit about this album after it’s released. His voice, annoying. His lyrics, one dimensional and pandering. The instrumentals are nothing above the typical honky tonk band. Literally listened to two tracks and skipped around to find this isn’t worth my time. Dare I say it, his son might actually be more listenable than this, and I have a strong aversion to his music as well. - not worth anyone’s time, I hate the genre blend, this album is a waste of time.

Didn’t listen too intently but sometimes he made funny noises

Mid. Tim is a horny man. 2.8/5

ooh he loves him a black woman apparently😏 (move with me) damn this man loves women (get on top (of me woman)) {devil eyes} was a hit funky ngl 4.9/10

Silly and boring

One of the first concerts I attended while in college featured Tim. His music then was much more folk/rock and on that particular night he did acoustic guitar work. Great introduction, enjoyed him thoroughly. This album is clearly a departure from his early style. I enjoyed it, but not as much as his work that was more folk leaning.

FUCKIN’ YEEEEEAHHHH! Awesome bluesy, rock and roll! Tremendous.

Disappointing after the live from London

Timmy needs a cold shower.

This ain't good

Endlich wieder etwas Anhörbares! Handgemacht mit Heart & Soul!

This guy’s voice reminded me a lot of van Morrison. I know this guys name but not sure from where. Uneventful record for me - then Spotify started playing other Buckley stuff and he sounds different. Not like van Morrison. This pleasant street song from another album is a good one.

Very good

Mid. Like bad mid.

bleh

Look the rest of the album is really fine, but Hong Kong Bar and Make It Right are just songs on a VERY different level.

Really did not dig this Best Song: Sweet Surrender Rating: 3.0/10 Stars: 2

I wish I hadn't had time to listen to this today.

Self indulgent LA muso cosplaying as a sexy person. 1 star sex funk

Non mi ha gasato ne nulla, ma non è neanche brutto

Unfortunately, this wasn’t my cup of tea

I thought I’d like it but the first song was really bad and put me off.

Incredibly boring, tedious and uninteresting. The worst thing about this project is his voice. I couldn't stand it. Feels very inauthentic and pretentious. The only redeemable aspects are some of the instruments, like the strings in 'Make it Right' and 'Sweet Surrender', or the change of pace at the end of 'Get on Top'. Nonetheless, I think the composition is very tame in general. On top of everything said, most of the songs are almost 7 minutes long, so yes, I didn't like this at all.

Boring

Musically it's quite good at times, folk, rock, cinematic at times, and then there's the vocals and lyrics, it's like a sleazy parody. Hard to nail down what to make of this record. An odd 3 for me.

This quirked up white boy horny as hell! He’s somehow both scrawny Tom Jones and chiller Scott Walker, but I dig it.

I once heard someone say Jeff Buckley wasn't as good as his dad. I think they got the names round the wrong way.

smth about this is off idk how to explain it. he should stick to folk idk about this one

Naaah.

This is the sort of music your creepy uncle listens to. Quagmire would listen to this.

First album and review on this platform Got this album, am aware of the musician have never gave him a chance. Upon the first track, was greeted with great production for the time, twany guitar and tight music. However holy hell are the lyrics ever cornball shit. We get it man, you're a ladies man. Highlights: Sweet Surrender, fun little track, like the Flamenco licks, and the general atmosphere of the song. Enjoyable experience Lowlight: Get in Top and Nighthawkin' repetitive and wasn't prepared for the cornball lyrics. Right little album that's 7 tracks and 39 minutes. Would have rated it 4/5 but because of those lyrics it's a 3

Was this written by a 15-year old? A score of zero should be available to separate this from the other bad albums on the list. Straight crap 1/5

Not his best. A few flashes of brilliance but not peak.

this dude needs a cold shower

I thought this was also shite. Last song was ok but that’s the only time I didn’t want to dig out my ear drum with a pencil while listening.

3.3/5 Never heard of Buckley before, even though I'm rather deep into Blues and Rock lore. Wiki says he od'd on Heroin in 1975. Music's okay for Blues standards, some of the songs like Sweet Surrender could be fun on a roadtrip. Could be rated a bit higher, but legends like SRV and Johnny Lee Hooker exist. Also seems like many people are offended by the sexual lyrics, I think it's something different compared to a good percentage of Blues music being about alcohol. I bet that the ones who hate it don't have sex either, hence why they hate it.

I'm really looking forward to listening to this, as I have been a big Jeff Buckley fan for more than 30.years and have never made time to listen to his dad . Well! That was jarring. On the positive side, I think he's got a great voice and I liked the music. However, I just listened to the musical equivalent of someone putting ketchup and mustard on a decent medium rare steak. ⭐⭐

Not a fan

Nemam pojma šta da mislim. Znači da je efekat šoka na nivou? Nek ostane dvica pa sam poprilično sigurna da ću na listi čuti za šta je bio sposoban Buckley Sr. dok ga se nije otarasila cijela fan-baza.

It is chaotic and all over the place, but enjoyable even if he uses the same trick in every song. At a certain point his always screaming or making sex noises. Really an artefact of the peace and love generation. While listenable, the greatest thing Tim Buckley ever produced migth still be Jeff Buckley.

Very average. Its ok musically in parts, but lyrically it's like a teenager who's just discovered sex.

"Move With Me" is a raucous, full band (including Gospel female backing vocals featuring Clydie King and Venetta Fields) treatment, rave up... some killer sax playing... having Chuck Rainey on Bass and Ed Greene on Drums, is quite the good thing to have in one's band... Tim Buckley wrote or co-wrote every song on this album... it didn't sell well... i'm pretty sure none of his records did... he is a tenor... and does some wild singing... and there are no "home runs" on this album... all the music and playing and writing and production are top notch... "Get On Top"... of me woman... lol... if i wrote that i'd be immediately arrested... but it's a cool song number two on this album... "Sweet Surrender" is a wild song... and i can see why, maybe, his music wasn't radio friendly... a lot of these songs, including this one, approach the seven minute mark... this is pretty complex music for a Rock and Roll record... and it takes an attention span to appreciate... some folks may be turned off by his voice... but, there is no doubt of it's range and technical ability... along with the total "letting go" that he does... let's just say... Tim Buckley... is IN TO IT... lol... he is not half ass-ing anything on this record... he wails like a banshee at times... it's riveting actually... "Nighthawkin'" is the shortest song on the record... and it rocks... some cool lead guitar by Joe Falsia... "Devil Eyes" features the obligatory "Sympathy for the Devil" congas and percussion... it's not a home run as i said before, but as i also said before... he is IN TO IT... "Hong Kong Bar" is a blues rock workout... and he gets down on it... this one and the closer "Make It Right" sound like they were recorded live in the studio... Chuck Rainey's bass sounding so cool... and right... horns rave it up... and Tim is still IN TO IT and wailing like a banshee... i must say... this IS an album you must hear before you die... and i give it FIVE stars... for sheer heart and originality"

Just not my thing.

shibirila

This was so bad wtf, how did Buckley go from Goodbye and Hello to THIS raunchy disaster of a funk record

This took me back to watching the grand Ol Opry and Hee Haw when I was a kid. Or the first time I saw O Brother where Art thou. So much talent

I don't think I had ever listened to Tim Buckley before this. Clydie King (backup singer for Dylan, alleged wife of Dylan, mother of multiple Dylan children) sang on this! I enjoyed it.

This dude just did not know how to end a song. Long and drawn out for no particular reason. The lyrics were...interesting. It didn't feel ground breaking though.

I don’t think I really cared about any of these songs. Fundamentally they are fine, I just thought they had no character. Nothing that defined it as intriguing but instead just something safe and easy.

Self-indulgent, ephemeral, highly forgettable. Tough backstory, but still...

Absolutely terrible, should have saved “shit sandwich” for this

Barely a 2.

the ctrl+alt+del guy?!??

Not for me but can see there may be an audience for this album

One of the first singer's who wrote his own songs, a war protester, died young.

Move with Me's lyrics are pretty gross but it's a bop. Overall, this guy's way too horny, but his sound is good.

Entirely forgettable. No idea how this made the list.

Not my thing at all. The vocals were bad, the lyrics were weird, just not my type of album.

Not funny enough to be weird.

Shouput to another track full of bangers

Perfect

I was expecting something like Fela Kuti's live albums - but it was different. And better. I was not sure how I feel about Tim's vocals at first, but they grew on me. Greetings from L.A. offers a big range of variety in music, while still feeling like a singular artistic statement.

For the first three tracks I thought this was going to be a new addition to my collection, but my enjoyment of the album began to fall away as it got closer to the end. Nevertheless, it's a solid set of tunes from an artist I had never listened to before, and it's getting four stars from me.

I'm sorry, ears. I will never again subject you to Tim Buckley's screaming about "speaking in tongues" or his drug-fueled sex songs. This *almost* makes me want to cue up Birthday Party. (Almost.)

Hmm. Fun music, not fun lyrics.

Yah I gave this album a bunch of chances cause I did like the instrumentation but the vocals were such a turnoff for me. I was never blown away with his vocal ability and I didn’t think he ever did anything interesting or difffernet with his voice. Honestly I just thought the whole album was wildly boring. Not bad, just unmemorable.

This album was nothing I expected it to be. I had heard of Tim Buckley, but mainly because of his son, Jeff Buckley. I thought Tim Buckley was a singer/songwriter, and he is, but he evolved from the hippie folk scene to a more avant-garde sound, then to a funk sound before passing away at 28 from a drug overdose. It doesn’t seem like Tim Buckley had enough of a career to land an album on the 1,001 list. Greetings From L.A. was probably his biggest-selling album, but it points out in the Wikipedia article, “Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well.” Greetings is a kind of a funk album, kind of a rock album, it’s just kind of weird. I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a parody album or if Tim Buckley is on the level. As a praody album, it's not bad, but as a legit, 'No, this is the album,' it seems a bit self-indulgent to me. I’m just not sure if I’m supposed to take it seriously. Move With Me is the lead song about a man trying to get a married woman to have an affair with him. Actually, most of the songs are about a man trying to have sex with a woman. Wikipedia did refer to this point of Tim Buckley’s career as the “sex funk” period. The problem with the “sex funk” albums was that the lyrics were a little too out there for pop radio, and what few fans Tim Buckley had made as a folk artist were not into sex funk. But he did gain a cult following, probably swingers and folks from nudist colonies, and those who love visiting nude beaches. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just not a big enough fan base to get you to sell out Madison Square Garden. I still don’t know what to do about this album. Tim Bucklety seems like he might be an a-hole, as he left Jeff Buckley and his mother about six months after Jeff was born and died before any relationship could have been worked out. Jeff Buckley went on to only outlive his father by two years before drowning in the Mississippi River in a weird swimming mishap of some sort. You can live a nice, long life without ever hearing Tim Buckley’s Greetings From L.A. But, if you're into sex funk or are a little sex funk curious, then feel free to indulge.

Musicalement c'est pas mal, mais -1 pour la voix et les chansons interminables.

This is my second Tim Buckley album, and based on my first experience with him, it's fair to say my expectations were LOW. So I have to report that I am pleasantly surprised by this album. It's kinda catchy, even if there are some really weird, out-of-place vocalizations throughout the album. But it's only, like, 39 minutes long, so hat tip to Mr. Buckley for that. Overall, especially with how sick I am of 60s/70s rock albums, this was a fairly enjoyable listen.

I'm actually not sure if I *dislike* anything about this record, but I'm not exactly sure I *like* anything about it either. It just kind of wanders aimlessly for me, with none of Buckley's interesting songwriting skills on display and no instrumental passages that offer much in the way of signifigance or memorability. 2.5/5

Some cool moments but could click with it when listening through.

For what starts off as sounding like a Jerry Lee Lewis album if he left his son at six months old instead of marrying his 13 year old cousin, the quality of Greetings From L.A. improves greatly when the piano-heavy rock n’ roll is phased out for a more dynamic, funky approach. I can’t speak too much for the lyrical content, apart from the vague themes of, incredibly surprisingly, love. Or, toxic love; Sweet Surrender opens with Timmy defending cheating because he had to go and get some experience with other women before coming back. Right, I’ll note that down for the next time I’m on r/relationshipadvice. It’s a fun listen, even if it does seem fairly long with a lot of tracks running over six minutes. There’s no denying that Buckley was both influential and in himself, pretty good at making music. That’s all you can gauge from this one-of-many 1970s singer-songwriter records anyway.

I stopped listening to the second song about cheating, which was literally the third track on the album. "Now you wanna know the reason / Why I cheated on you? Well, I had to be a hunter again / This little man had to try / To make love feel new again," after the first track literally was about pretending to be a handyman to screw some dude's wife. Gross. There is too much good music in the world to waste time listening to stuff that grosses me out. Shrug.

A bit outdated, some songs were just kind of weird, but I liked the part where he scatted and there were some surprisingly nice beats

A few goodsongs that all have somethjng off putting and a couple of mehs add up to two stars

Okay

Kind of boring until the last song.

Middling

Nice vibe and flow to the songs but his voice becomes annoying.

Just no.

#706. I absolutely love the Jeff Buckley album that is in this book, so I was quite interested in hearing the music his father made. After listening to three of his albums now, I think I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I do not like Tim Buckley's music. 2/5: not great.

Decent country record. Overall, it's an easy-listen vibe and it's sequenced very well. I'd check it again.

Just ok

Crazy how even a singing voice can be inherited. Jeff got it honestly is what I’m saying. Too bad his Dad was a deadbeat.

I like freaky shit and I especially like 70s freaky shit, but I couldn't enjoy the raunchiness when it was sung through such a ridiculously affected voice.

I still don't like Tim Buckley. This one was very raw. No imagery, very cathartic.

It’s not a terrible album, but it’s definitely very possible. I don’t ever see my self listen to this one again, but it’s not necessarily offensive or anything. I’m between a two and a one star.

Not too bad. No song stands out in particular.

I liked it. I had familiarity with Jeff Buckley, but I was unaware that his dad Tim was also a singer songwriter some of his lyrics. Remind me of pig pen from the Grateful Dead. I will explore some of his other albums.

This was really disappointing. I was a big Jeff Buckley fan in the 90s. People always said "His father Tim Buckley was even better! A musical genius who died too young." I always just accepted that as a well-known fact. But I never got around to checking it out. Today I learned that he was just run-of-the-mill early 70s rock. I've heard hundreds of small-town bar bands that make basically the sand music.

Isto passou-me muito ao lado, nooop… não dou 1 porque o instrumental até cativa às vezes.

Sounds like musical blackface

Ok, ok this is sort of like CCR in my opinion. I’m hearing Grateful Dead jam outs, sort of. I’m not a Dead fan but from what I’ve heard, their jam outs sound the same. I’d say this is the more talented Buckley for sure. Oooooo maybe some Santana vibes as well. It’s blusey, folky, jammy and it just is a good fire side soundtrack. Choice cut: Hong Kong Bar

Sweet surrender is the only song I saved

A lot of talk of making love. Miles better than his other album.

did not listen

Just alright but some cool sections. I read his Wikipedia and the guy kinda sounds like a POS.

He likes wailing with his voice. I maybe like it less?

I didn't enjoy this.

3.5

The last Tim Buckley album I got on this list was dog shit. Wasn't expecting much going into this but damn I was impressed. White boy kinda nice with the sauce.

Sometimes I felt like I was listening to a parody album to much more talented artists but there is nothing objectively bad

Lyrically this guy is a depraved lunatic. It’s more rock and roll than the other Tim Buckley album (Goodbye and Hello), and better as a whole, but nothing all that catchy. Lyrics were pretty distracting.

Day 21, third album I own. Haven’t spun it a whole lot and always figured I liked his other acclaimed albums more but considering this one comes late in his brief career, I want to pay extra attention to it and hopefully come back to it when I get other Tim Buckley albums. I believe I once thought “who’s this black woman singing?” and it was Tim Buckley. Did the same with Adele. Wild that the Boss stole the whole album title/postcard design theme just months later for his debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. Dylan's one time girlfriend/possible wife Clydie King sings backing vocals on this album which came many years before her time with Bob. Anyways, to the music. Over the top, maximalist self-indulgent classic rock that isn’t prog? This one may really need time to settle in. It’s a complicated listen. Didn't give the lyrics a good listen and I imagine they might be the redeeming quality to the meandering "Hong Kong Bar" and might altogether raise my opinion of the album.

How is Jeff Buckley so otherworldly and yet his dad made the most insufferable music imaginable

Another Tim Buckley, another terrible album. Pretty close to a 1.

Not enjoyable

My initial impression was "wow this is bad". > ... Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well ... I was like "I fucnking wonder why?". Terrible lyrics, sex-funk, stupid and profane. But I gave it another go. And in the end I even liked a couple of tracks like "Hong Kong Bar" and "Make It Right". "Devil's eyes" is still too graphical to me but the album redeemed itself a bit. Not bad.

Absolutely love it. Makes me smile, makes wanna dance, makes me laugh. The performances are terrific. But what sets it apart is that it's interesting. He builds the album from the conventions of the day but manages to create something wholly unique. It makes you realize how banal so much music on this list is.

Of all the late 60s early 70s singer songwriters I didn’t expect Tim Buckley to be the first to get a repeat for me. Especially his take on funk? Cause well I don’t really like Tim Buckley, think he’s so overrated by critics, some kind of cult artist, that because of his vocal histrionics are taken as value over any good songwriting he gets smoke blown up his ass, did the singer bit shame about the song, and again he did the kill ya self trip to infamy that seems to be good to get yourself on this here list. The songs we get here lame white man blues funk with dodgy sexualised lyrics and if the songs here are in anyway autobiographical he was a shitty person into the bargain. This is his usual vocal gymnastics and if you like it fine, I just find it starts to grate quickly and gets tiresome like get over yourself, want to give it 1 but it’s not quite that shitty 2 Star

Descobri tardiamente a obra de Tim Buckley e este é meu álbum favorito de sua discografia. Carregado de influências de Jazz, Funk e R&B, em canções com arranjos que valorizam as contribuições de cada instrumento: baixo, bateria, cordas e especialmente os teclados. Ótimo disco!

Tim Buckley was amazing and this is his best album.

Funky, groovy, fun.

Nice

2.75

Alternate title: guy brags that he has sex for half an hour

Det här var ju dö'dåligt.

mehhhg, wasn’t as good as i thought it’d be

Would have been at least 4 stars if all the songs were cut shorter instead of drowning on with random noises. Not a bad showing from Buckley, though.

Pretty annoying singing. Music itself is fine.

Burde gå på noe rus om man skal høre på dette

Hmmm I don’t know. Liked it! More like background music for me, though.

Good

Interesting album. Comes with a lot of hype. Meh.

Clasico

This album was awesome. What a surprise. Had a few songs that I thought were Harry neillson. Very cool and definitely on the relisten list. Great bass. Great lyrics and vocals.

Pretty horny

Pretty awesome actually, much different than the other Tim Buckley album I reviewed

This is a more straight-ahead rock album with occasional strings and horns. In general, I liked this better than "Goodbye and Hello". I gave that one 3 stars, but it was at the low-end of 3 stars, more like 2.5 stars rounded up to 3. This album is more like 3.49 stars rounded down to 3 because I can't quite give it 4 stars. 3 stars.

Once again, I found Tim Buckley's voice really really hard to listen to for a full LP's worth of somewhat summery tunes. The vibe was ok but the songs were forgettable.

I feel like I should have enjoyed this more. I normally like folk-rock experiments but I just couldn't with this one.

This is pretty good. Not my favorite. But grooves but some of the songs last too long.

If you want a perfect view of early 70s folk rock this is the album to start with

bluesige und funkige momente, aber eine schrille stimme ohne ende. hörbar, aber kein „must-have-listened“.

Gefällt mit seiner funkigen Art. Und besser als sein Sohn, Jeff Buckley. Den hatten wir nämlich schon.

It’s cool to relax.

Fun album

Looks familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen this album before. The artist himself also sounds familiar. Ohh dam Jeff Buckley is his son, mm now I'm interested even more. No high hopes, but it can be short and sweet. First song, I like how funky it is, the intro was too good. Girls voices are well done. I'm enjoying this type of oldies apparently. Every second was so worth it, dam it's too upbeat not to like. Second song, kinda tropical intro. Mm love the backbeat, perfect for walking. His random vocal outbursts are mm fun, same as his gibberish björking around. Couldn't get bored of this shit even though lyrics are purely sexual and maybe irritating for some. Outro is amazing in headphones. Third song, dam he cheated now huh. Also song is less upbeat now, production gets much better onwards though. It progressed so we'll, I'm amazed even more now. The outro is the most outroest thing. His random vocals are so good, love em for some reason. 4th song, mm already a good start. This one's short hm. Probably my least favorite for now, it still bops tho. Also ladies appeared again mm. 5th song, back to the longer ones. I enjoy the intro having instrumentals that will somehow be enhanced with better beat in the later of the song, at least I hope that happens as it did in the preceding ones. He must be down bad making all them noises, having so much fun in the studio I'm guessing. 6th song, ngl this one has some moments that are fun to listen to. The backbeat is good, his voice well we can't do anything about that some don't like it, I don't mind it. This one has less production, but I kinda see through it, he wanted this about lyrics tho that's for sure. This one lasted for too much, but the chorus is worth it, it's so weirdly delivered I enjoy it. 7th song, daaaam the beat coming in after that mini talk. Mm kinda sentimental. Just as I was low-key bored, the chorus came in, violin is doing its job too well. This is one of the best songs here for sureee. The production is just too fucking good. I was between 4 and 5 with this one. But I liked every song and everyone actually offered something new, I'm happy with all of their little quirks, some had little lows but that's how albums work, especially on the first listen. I want more from him and apparently there is one at least, based on the reviews. Also because of those reviews, reading while listening, I thought I was dislike it soon enough, but mm it's good. Lyrics don't bother me, he's right there with Diamanda Galas with that vocal outbursts, and I fw her so he's fine in that category. Anyway, I liked him more than I expected.

good

Idk what type of music this was but it was great

Kinda funky, kinda bluesy. I was not looking forward to this album after two previous 1 star reviews for Tim Buckley but this wan't bad. Now I need to look at the other two albums again and see if I was fair to him.

did not enjoy. DNF. 1/5

The funk and soul grooves are undeniably infectious, but the lyrical content is so drenched in misogyny that it feels like you’re dancing at a party where the host won’t stop cornering women in the kitchen. Tim & Jeff Buckley infect this list too much

Fine music. Good for what it is. Not my cup of tea.

Being the father of Jeff Buckley is probably enough reason to be on the list. Historically speaking that is interesting enough. Gives some context to his much more talented son. But knowing that he was such a massive PoS (only met his son once) makes his music almost impossible to listen to. And it's fine. Would probably be interesting even if I didn’t know the artist's history. Lyrics are very 14 yr old boy talking about all the sex he would have if he had sex. I'm sure he has other albums on the list because of how overrepresented this generation of musician is on the list, but surely this one could have been left off in favor of another of his albums.

Agnostic about this

Musically the sound of some of it was alright and could have been promising. But it was hard to get past the awful singing that accompanied it.

Very dated, sleazy and dull.

Impassioned singing style somewhat overrides some pretty middle of the road bluesy rocking. Standard 3* album, and I haven’t and won’t write a letter home about it.

Love when he said hibidibadoobiedibadobi, it really spoke to me.

Almost gave this a 2 but the last song was fire. Fave song: Make It Right

Interesting lyrics and very "swingy" Favourite Song: Night Howlin

sweet surrender and night hawkin aint bad, overall didnt hate listening to it. but he is a horny bastard. enjoyed it enough to be a 3 but very close to being a 2

I'm firmly in the Jeff Buckley camp through the first song. This is like dime store Dr. John crossed with the poor man's CCR. Abraxas called, it wants its sound back. It's not bad to sound like Santana, Get on Top feels like a rip off of it though. He sounds like a blend of absolutely everything happening in the 70s: Outlaw Country, Psychedelic Rock, Funk, the Sexual Revolution, Drugs, Civil Rights. Tim Buckley's favorite musician was Jim Morrison, I have no doubt.

A poor man's Kenny Loggins

Had this album many years ago. Couple of lovely songs on here I'd not heard in years.

It's giving Jim Carey / Steve Carell in Bruce Almighty.

Reminds me a little bit of B-52 s in some way, the playfulness of it, much more funk and folk than them. It feels anchored like playing a song with friends in someone's backyard.

simpatico, molto west coast anni 70 vibes. l'ultima mamma mia che banger

Pretty boring, fairly generic. 70’s were an interesting time for rock music, with a lot of change. This one was a last gasp from a dying breed of 60’s era doe-eyed folk crooners. Pleasant enough, but nothing that stands the test of time.

Nice and enjoyable album!

First album I've heard from Buckley, not a genre I listen to much. After listening, I find the songs quite nice and easy to listen to but I do feel like each song doesn't have many ideas in it. I wouldn't really call this bad but I don't find it all that interesting. Somewhat disappointing. I probably enjoyed "Devil Eyes" the most, honestly because it probably has the most going on out of all of these songs. "Hong Kong Bar" was also quite enjoyable for the exact opposite reason - I was able to enter a sort of trance with how calm the song was. The closer is pretty alright too, introducing some slightly lush instrumentation while remaining upbeat. Easily my least favorite track was "Get On Top" as it felt a bit uncomfortable to me (as well as repetitive).

Tim is the inferior Buckley.

Not bad. Good energy, but overall not super memorable. Not much love for the lyrics.

This is something else.

This one was fun, and I would love to have heard this live in 1972. The best part is Chuck Rainey on bass, laying it down! Everything else builds on that.

8/10

Decent 70s mellow rock but all the songs sounded the same, not very exciting

I won't be listening again in a hurry

High 3/low 4, interesting you can hear a good bit of Tim's vocal mannerisms in Jeff. Fun grooves and music but not the biggest fan of Tim's voice/delivery

Not a fan. Clearly a musician's musician. I think all his talent was passed on to his son.

Not too bad.

Nice 70's folk rock album. Sounds like a casual non planned get together with friends on a thursday that turns out great.

Shut up, Tim

A good album, I liked Nighthawking and Make It Right.

This one was really weird. The production was great, I love that early 70s sound but the vocals and howling were just weird. I won’t come back to this one.

Maybe his weakest album that I’ve heard so far but fine

Quite a good listen 🎶

Listen to Dream Letter instead. The most notable thing about Tim Buckley is that he's Jeff Buckley's absentee father (they only met once). His music was creative and every album was a different genre/iteration, and he was never able to find commercial success. Listening to this album seems like a music appreciation project in college - intended to expose you to music that exists. However, it's not particularly enjoyable. It's listening to musical experimentation. No Best Songs

The only reason why I can give this album a 2 instead of a 1 is because the guitar, bass, and drums are really good and pretty funky on this one. Tim's vocals are annoying at times (most times) and the lyrics just keep getting worse and worse as the album goes on. This guy just seems like a real tool who is trying to convince his middle school friends that he has had sex.

It was ok overall. Couple of tracks that brought the average down.

It’s ok. He does a lot of push and pull, which I didn’t like. Also in many songs, he went very nasal, which again I didn’t like. Music wise, not bad. Layered instrument is good. But nothing really catchy. It’s a low 3 for me.

it was a nice listen, but i can't remember much of it on Monday morning.

Each song starts off kinda cool then gets progressively more lame.

Not much on this album that was crazy memorable, some good grooves mixed in here and there that I feel like justifies the three.

It's fine.

1. Make it Right 2. Move With Me 3. Sweet Surrender

The only thing that redeems this album is the instrumentals. Every song is about sex and cheating and has some racist remark in it. This album did NOT age well, and should stay in the 70s. Next please. Standout Songs Nighthawkin’ (I guess?)

Note really listened to TB before, and was not sure what to expect. A lot more funky than anticipated. Enjoyed most of the guitar playing, 'Hong kong' etc... Lyrics were a bit seedy and outdated.

I have to say, I feel like Tim's unusual singing style and voice, which had worked so well and felt completely natural on his previous avant-folk albums, don’t carry over into this funky style all that well. Although at times I actually thought the vocals were really great and delivered with a lot of passion (maybe a bit too much at times), I found all the crooning and moaning a little tedious to listen to at times. For instance, I think Robert Plant did the sort of thing Tim was going for here a lot better. That said, I was really impressed by how smoothly and effortlessly he made the switch to this more funk influenced sound here. The instrumentation is generally excellent from start to finish, with the funky songs grooving pretty hard and some nice orchestrations (like on Sweet Surrender and Make it Right) and some bluesy-folky stuff (Hong Kong Bar) providing a bit of stylistic diversity. But looking at the credits and seeing names such as Chuck Rainey and Ed Greene here, it's no surprise that the playing here is top-notch. What even are some of these lyrics though? The prominent sexual theme feels a bit over the top and forced throughout the whole album. Some tracks, especially "Devil Eyes" (which is definitely my least favorite on here) made me cringe with how obvious and frankly a little nasty the lyrics were with all the toe licking going on. I mean, I don't mind some R-rated lyrics in my music, but a little more subtlety would have been appreciated. So in the end I had to knock the rating down a bit because I wasn't really a fan of the lyrics and the vocals were just okay, but if you focus on the actual music and great musicianship, this is yet another strong record in Tim Buckley's catalog. I'm just hoping either Starsailor, Lorca, or Happy Sad are also included in the list. 3.5/5

I prefer more chill Time Buckley :/

Heyo, Tim Buckley. First, I listened to Jeff Buckley and now I guess it's time for me to work my way backwards. It’s neat that this book includes genetic lineages on the list. I wonder how many more I’m going to encounter. A lot of lengthy songs on this album. Can’t say that the length is justified, though for what it is it could be worse. Move with Me is a good opener and is likely my favourite song on the album. The chorus is solid, especially with the backup singers. Tim's vocals are mixed in a strange way, however. I get the impression that they should have been much more pronounced than they are in actuality. The performances themselves leave a lot to be desired, too. They’re generally pretty underwhelming. There are other decent moments on this album. Sweet Surrender has some very good strings and other experimental flourishes. I like the instrumental to Devil Eyes. Make It Right is a solid closer. I enjoy the strings and acoustic guitar. The book doesn’t have much to say about this album outside of its genre-blending approach and the Wikipedia page is surprisingly sparse, too. I'm unsure of how to feel about this inclusion. Tim seems to be a well-regarded artist, though his work appears to be heavily out-shined by the work of his successor. I’m inclined to let this one slide, though I think it occupies the lower end of the “must-listen” spectrum.

I never really took the time to listen to anything by Tim Buckley which surprises me a little considering how much I enjoy his son Jeff's music. Having listened to this I can say they are nothing alike. I found this to be generally uninteresting, lyrically offensive and vocally grating. Often times I got the impression that these were parody songs as they have that sort of over the top feeling to vocals and such. It's not the worst thing I've ever heard but it isn't even remotely enjoyable.

This album is fine, and pretty nice background music, but I didn't find anything iconic about it.

I hate this dude! And I hate him more before I’ve had to listen to three albums of his shit so far for this project! His songs stink, and he either sounds like he’s doing a bad Jim Morrison impression, or he sounds like a chihuahua getting pinched. This was slightly better than the last album of his I got, in that it was shorter and less self-indulgent, but it’s the difference between a 1 and a 1.5. Stop making me listen to his guy!!

This is funny cuz I was just listening to Grace right before this today before I even knew this was the album of the day! That being said that’s really not the craziest coincidence because I listen to Grace a lot haha. Regarding the album, the music is enticing and well made. The lyrical content however is… well he’s racist, constantly horny, and romanticizes infidelity and getting raped so. There isn’t much to love. I feel bad Jeff had to have the deadbeat this man obviously was as a father. I guess he overdosed when Jeff was only 9 anyway. Checks out.

Not the best, but not the worst. An acceptable slice of 70's if you're into it.

I feel like this is album is an inside joke that I’m not a part of.

folkie

Some funny lyrics

Flamingo.

p272, 1972. 2 stars. Startlingly good voice, let down by average songs and the usual early 70s excessive song length. There's a reason it didn't sell well. Also, the lyrics to "Devil Eyes" suggest he may be covering for performance issues. "She's gonna beat me, whip me, spank me". Typical Saturday night out in Stoke, then.

I liked the saxophone, rest was meh.

Interesting

Didn't get very far

Favorite Track: Sweet Surrender

Sometimes pure poppycock, yet always interesting and worth multiple plays. I recommend being drunk on whiskey when listening to it.

Sort of typical bluesy roots 70s style stuff with super cringe lyrics. Pass

Heard of Time Buckley before, but I don't see how he's any different from other late '70s singers.

Funky but racist

Didn’t do anything for me.

It's a shame that this is basically the soundtrack for the deadbeat dads who "go to the store for milk" and never come back. I wanted to find something to like about this album, but I grimaced more than once. Serious question, do some women find stuff like this flattering? Funny? Charming? It's definitely not tasteful. And now I feel bad as a heterosexual male.

Jamming or "grooving" type tunes. Songs are pretty long. Not a fan of Jamming music. Im not enjoying this.

3.5

5/10 hmmm. NO. 7-2-2025

This ok but this sort of lover boy music makes me want to punch the singer in the face

Musically almost a pleasant listen. But I'm not 100% fine with his vocals. weak three stars for this greetings. 2,5

I think this is my favorite that I’ve listened to from Buckley. It’s a weird, strangely horny, wild album from a misunderstood artist. I wonder if this was his “fuck it let me try this” album, as it’s so different and funkier than his earlier efforts. I’m sure he had no chance of widespread radio play with this one, but maybe he didn’t care at that point.

Noisy

On the surface it’s not bad, but the lyrics are gross and cringy

Whoever makes the decision about these albums must have a thing for Tim Buckley. According to my "records" this is the third Buckley album sent our way. I didn't mind this one though, it was fun to listen to while I did my emails and birthdays.

Not really my style, and nothing here stood out as particularly memorable.

★★¼

this white boy got soul!

Very interesting album, felt a little busy at parts. At its best captivating at its worst confusing

this is why i did this list, to hear stuff my parents talk about but I never got around to actually checking out. Warren Zevon is on my list of top faves (as low as 5) of all time and this fits right in with the old school, beginning-of-irreversible-decay Los Angeles that this exudes. the beginning is goofy and fitting. very 70's rock pushing forward the evolution of 60's pioneering and where it can go. 3/5 is what I'm looking for in the albums i haven't heard of on this list. I don't know any of these songs but they are mellow and fresh for 72. the fatigue of the endless summer of love morphing the rock scene is evident. Nighthawkin' and Get on Top have a groovy, funky feel to them. it can slow down with tracks like Sweet Surrender and Hong Kong Bar, but its a very short album that gets to the point in less than 40 min. what a time to be alive in LA. Devil's Eyes is playful yet technical. i can't say too much more about it, the ending is very era appropriate and its a great example of the time period where the course of music changing was in the hands of the people and could go semi-unnoticed.

As someone who recently fell in love with Jeff Buckleys singing it was interesting listening to and learning about his father. The album is fun, bluesy, and Tim Buckleys vocals stand out across the project. I enjoyed the album quite a bit.

40 minutes of groovy, blues-esque, unseasoned rockstuff. I still feel like I have a zest for life and that disqualifies me from meeting some form of minimum age threshhold to like this album My subjective brain is taking over to tell me to banish this to 1-star hell and I have lost the willpower within myself to fight against it I liked the part where he sang about licking between her toes but that's also just a joke because actually I didn't like that part Credit where credit's due for being an early pioneer in the sphere of foot fetish music Tedium Buckley I'm very glad that he has two more albums on this list that I haven't heard yet and both of them are rated lower than this one but that's also just a joke because actually I am fairly unhappy about that (but I'm sure that each of them are more important than Discovery by Daft Punk since they're on this list) I wish to leave

This was not great. I liked it more than his other album I listened to the day before. I’m not good at paying attention to lyrics so I missed a lot of the gross horny stuff. This is definitely 1-2 territory but since I liked it better than his other album I’ll give it a 2

Good album but it felt like something was missing

If you remove the vocals and the lyrics with them this album is pretty good. As a total package though it’s definitely a mixed bag.

Sorry, not a fan.

Absolutely fine Its been a rough run of bad to meh albums so this one is probably helped by that. Okay

Not very familiar with this artist. A few moments really grooved, but mostly it disappeared into the background. It didn't hold my attention.

Not my taste at all, kind of laughable really. Sounds a bit like a Cher impersonator at times. Don't think I can finish this one haha; too cringe for me.

Nothing stood out to me

Weak 3

Not my kind of music

Nada, no lo voy a puntuar mal, pero no me ha interesado nada. Le puse interés, más bien por ser el padre de Jeff que por mérito propio, aunque al final no me ha interesado. Intentaré oír otros trabajos suyos.

It sounds very 70s, something my guitar teacher would be into .

Oké, cool, talent zat dus in de familie. Sterven rond de leeftijd van 30 jaar jammer genoeg ook. Het klinkt wel ook een beetje zoals Jeff Buckley, of ja, Jeff Buckley klinkt een beetje zoals z'n vader. Muzikaal ook zeer mooi, wijze strijkers. Maar als je de bassist van Blood, Sweat & Tears en de drummer van The Mothers of Invention hebt, heb je wel al een streepje voor uiteraard. 3.4

Pretty bad stuff here, won’t listen again

Not what I expected Tim Buckley to sound like. Fairly explicit lyrics too! Could grow on me but the vocal style and instrumentation isn't my fav. It did lead me to Song for the Siren though, now that's a great song.

Oh hell yeah. Fun quick listen! None of it really stuck with me but I enjoyed the rock vibe, and the instrumentation was varied and creative. Fav Track: Move with Me

Gear: Grado Hemp Artwork: 🏙️📸🟨 Production: 🎧😘🤌 Music: 🌴🍸🍆 Rating: 🏙️🏙️🏙️/5

Obscure for sure, but groovy and cool.

I really enjoyed this one. Great mix of styles and influences, not the stereotypical singer/songwriter acoustic drivel. Some real depth here.

O álbum é um pouco cansativo, mas tem boas músicas. Não escutaria novamente.

This was okay.

God musik, halvsløj lyrik

Problematic album created by prickly deadbeat.

Solid album, every song on it is good. It didn't immediately earn a favorite status, but maybe with more time spent it could. For now I like it well enough and would listen to it again. Glad this project gave me an excuse.

Folk rock with some jazz elements at times. OK.

Enjoyed it but likely wouldn’t return to it. I liked the use of strings and appreciated that it sounded very 70s. However, considering some of the other albums on the list that I’ve really enjoyed, I would struggle to place it higher than 3 stars. For now, I’ve opted for 2 but I may change it later if it grows on me.

Solid 70s rock album with some soul sprinkled on top.

Awesome, had the potential for hard rock

Came out with a banger and then fell on its face….

One of the strongest opening lyrics of any album: "I went down to the meat rack tavern And found myself a big ol' healthy girl" It was all downhill from there. Found myself actually laughing out loud by sweet surrender. Really terrible with the exception of track 1, which was awesome.

Yeh, fine

Greetings From L.A. May have changed my opinion on Buckley. The previous album I had heard was nothing special at all. On this one there is a swagger I wasn’t aware of, absolutely incredible vocals and energy. Very solid 6.8/10

How did this make the list?! “Greetings from L.A. did not sell well, although this is probably his best seller” Cheesy Vegas lounge music, at best.

Better than the last Tim Buckley album on the list, but still feels like someone trying to be Jim Morrison, imitation is fine I guess but Jim Morrison was crap too...

Interesting. Not my jam, one listen is enough for me.

A little more pleasant to listen to than his earlier work, but that comes at the cost of sounding a lot more cliché. I didn't really enjoy his earlier albums, but they had their own distinct sound to them. This album sounds like a knock off of any number of bands combining rock, funk and soul at the time. Looking at the wikipedia-page and other sites, this doesn't seem to be a very influential album of his either. I think it was a boring listen, not one I'd return to.

it's okay. everything is executed properly, but after the emotional and visceral Starsailor (which ISN'T ON THIS LIST???), this feels a bit understated. mildly groovy, lyrics are still up to par, and not a terrible album by any means, but it's not really giving me much. Make It Right is beautifully submissive. deserves to be one of the 1001? over STARSAILOR?? not a chance

another nothing album

Sex funk with a twist of acoustic guitar near the end. I can see where Jeff got it from, but he was way better than his dad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfi-xoD_-d4 maybe Tim should've toned down the sexiness of his lyrics.

This was more...promiscuous and raunchier than I was expecting? It also was the longest 39 minutes of my life. I'm not sure who this album is for. I'm normally a funk guy, but not even the funk presence could save this record for me. Too one-note on the sex side of things and the late Tim Buckley's vocals are borderline uncomfortable to listen to.

Nice

A new artist to me but some fun tunes. Very 70s blues vibe for sure.

“Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well” Why is it on this list? Not terrible, but just not my taste. Some of the songs were all right.

i liked everything about this album except the vocals, which made it a bit of a tough listen. Way too over the top.

More or less did not listen. I did like 2 tracks and decided I'd rather listen to something I enjoy

I thoroughly hated this. Found the whole style to be grating and annoying

soooo bluesy, brother was 100% influenced by that black soul!!! period!!! i love blues so this was great, devil eyes has got to be my fav such a freaky deaky song, make it right bangsss omg groovalicious. moral of the story i think mr tim buckley wants a woman to abuse and dominate him

Very groovy very enjoyed . I really liked the guitar reminded me of like dire straits or the police . Only the guitar though . Chill listen , wasn’t too long which I liked . Just pretty solid

Appreciate this but not really my bag
