Every review I've ever read about Jeff Buckley tells what a great singer he was. Well he got it from his dad, Tim, and whatever was in the Buckley family vocal genes I'd like to have some of that too please. This album, originally released on that great old LA label Elektra in 1969, and ... Read review

built his reputation on his remarkable vocal range, sensitive, moody songwriting and refusal to compromise artistically even when it maddened and confused his most ardent fans. Happy Sad recorded in 1969 with production duties shared by the Lovin Spoonful's Jerry Yester and Zal Yanovsky, showcased what was to become an increasingly jazz tinged direction with intricate song arrangements underpinned by vibes and intricate lead guitar work. The mellow "Buzzin Fly" is the lightest moment here but Happy Sad, only six songs long, is fashioned around two centrepiece numbers, the 10 minute "Love From Room 109 At The Islander [On Pacific Coast Highway"], a darkly romantic meditation set against a backdrop of rolling breakers and the 12 minute stoned groove "Gypsy Woman" in which Buckley sets that incredible voice loose. --Mike Pattenden

This album, originally released on that great old LA label Elektra in 1969, and co-produced by The Lovin' Spoonful's duo of Jerry Yester and Zal Yanovsky, is one sweet, sweet trip through the extraordinary vocal talents of this man.
Born in ... ...lady on 30 June 1975. Oh, the good ones they do die young. Buckley had an amazing range, going right from falsetto all the way down to a deep snarl. I don't think I've ever heard a male singer capable of doing the same.
Yes, so much of this album sounds like the boys just set out camp in the San Francisco panhandle, smoked some dope and dropped some acid, then got on with the business of making a record, but remember this was 1968! Paris was burning, ...
