Advantages: A wide scoping double CD album Disadvantages: Misses his more experimental work
always delightful, but this time it seems Beckett has given Buckley the perfect lyrics that his voice longs for. Easy contender for song of the album. 10/10
Goodbye and hello, A marathon, a stunning tour, a feast. Buckley at his godly best. Starting off with slow music and peaceful singing, The musical "chorus" kicks in and sounds soft but yet you can almost hear theirs a lot more to come from the song. As the next verse approaches theirs a little change in music, before a speeddy interlude with Buckley seemingly going off on a tangent that yet fits so wonderfully and makes you wonder why so few people have replicated the effect that he does a little later in the song. Then back to the musical "chorus", then back to the pacey god send with a slightly high tone this time Tim takes on slightly more complex verse. Then back to a chorus, and so ...

I can't see you, A nice intro with soft guitar sounds and a speedy sounding vocal display. Although not the best song on the disk, it's still an astonishingly great start to the album letting us catch a glimpse of what Tim's all about. With Beckett's lyrics being sang poetically by a brilliant Buckley. 9/10
Wings, My personal favourite from the "TimBuckley" secotion, with simple but astonishing lyrics about how Tim left his wife. Although not the greatest of subjects perhaps, the lyrics give the song a soft and easy feel of love of the mother of his child, but also a feeling that he can't go back to her. Beckett's lyrics here really do ...
Advantages: Jeff Buckley struts his singing, Dream Brother is heavy Disadvantages: Vocal excesses, band in full force for only one song
Where Grace ends, 'Live From The Bataclan' begins: 'Dream Brother', the only song to feature Jeff Buckley's band in full force on this EP - has heavier instrumentation here, and where it seems as if Jeff is oversinging in the middle and end sections, this just helps in the build up towards something special-sounding. From then onwards, it's just Jeff and his guitar, and in 'The Way Young Lovers Do' his guitar-playing has the crowd clapping along. However his vocal improvisation might split some - singing is his strength and here he shows if off in this song. I'm not a Jeff Buckley fan but I was impressed. Moving on, the 'Je N'en Connais Pas la Fin; Hymne a l'amour' medley has many a sweet melody, although when Jeff sings one of the French lines and the crowd erupt - to which he is taken aback - it makes it seems as if the audience are ...

Album Notes
Personnel include: Tim Buckley (vocals, 12-string guitar, vibraphone, kalimba); Van Dyke Parks (celesta, harpsichord); David Friedman (vibraphone); Chuck Rainey (bass guitar); Earl Palmer (drums). Recording information: 1966 - 1974. For an artist like Tim Buckley, compiling a Best Of may be a Herculean task. Like all musical visionaries, Buckley consistently changed his own rules for how to define his best, so a collection may do only cursory justice to such an extraordinary career. Of course, Buckley's unearthly gifted voice, with its multi-octave pyrotechnic range, remains a constant in all of his work, and BEST OF TIM BUCKLEY compiles some of his most memorable performances in one place. The disc highlights everything from his baroque folk-rock records of the late 1960s to his more experimental jazz and soul records of the '70s, including, from the former, such gems as "Strange Feelin'" and "Morning Glory" and, from the latter, "Song to the Siren" and a fantastic cover of Fred Neil's epic "Dolphins," a song Buckley was born to sing. While not for Buckley completists, this collection is a great start for the uninitiated.
Album Reviews
Mojo (p.128) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The earliest material remains as pure and thrilling as on the day it was born, Buckley's remarkably supple, multi-octave voice is a thing of wonder."
