ABOUT THIS ITEM

The first-ever comprehensive single-disc retrospective of the legendary singer-songwriter's groundbreaking, genre-defying work! Falling somewhere between way ahead of his time and timeless in the truest sense of the word, legendary singer-songwriter Tim Buckley's far-reaching genius spanned both a multi-octave vocal range and a multiplicity of genres. Now one of the most mythologized figures in rock history, Buckley was born in Washington, DC and raised in Orange County, CA, first emerging as a folk-rock icon with his self-titled '66 debut LP. His fragile, soaring melodies became more intricate and free-form on subsequent albums, where psychedelic and improvisational elements were heightened as well. Buckley also followed his muse through avant-garde jazz explorations, soulful self-expression and constant stylistic redefinition, all coloured by extraordinarily fluid vocals. One of music's most influential, complex and visionary talents; Buckley died tragically young in 1975 at age 28, cutting short a creative spirit that knew no boundaries. Spanning 1966—1974, this album covers all the essential tracks totalling over 77 minutes of music. 18 tracks that draw from Buckley's entire catalogue of studio albums. All the tracks are remastered to sound better than ever.
