Tim Buckley: Goodbye And Hello - September 7th 1967

By Mick MacVe

"It was very adolescent. I took sides. I said the establishment was wrong. O.K. it's wrong, but I didn't have an answer." Tim Buckley in "Zigzag"

The music is more elaborate than previously, and on songs like "I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain", "Once I Was" and "Morning Glory", the arrangements and voice combine to give a unique song. Good stuff, but rooted in "folk-rock-protest." But, hey! This was 1967...
