Goodbye And Hello
Tim Buckley

I was excited to listen to this one. Jeff Buckley’s dad! This album turned out to be pretty frustrating. It has some great music and occasionally a great line. But mostly this is overshadowed by some truly ridiculous lyrics. Lots of lines about jesters and kings and queens and maybe the war is in your mind and it’s all very 60s and pretentious. Knight Errant is particularly embarrassing, as is the 8 minute title track. On the other hand, “I never asked to be your mountain,” “once I was,” and “pleasant street,” are incredible songs.
