Look
at the Fool: Tim Buckley
By
Unknown
Look
at the Fool was to be the final album that Tim Buckley
recorded before he died in 1975.
The
album is slightly similar in style to Greetings From L.A,
though somewhat toned down, with less raunchy funk and more
of a latin, soul feel. The album flows nicely, far more consistent
than it's predecessor, but it seems to lack the intensity
of most of his other albums.
Every
track is heavily laden with female backing singers, which
at points are pretty cheesy, watering down and detracting
from Tim's vocals and not doing the songs much justice. There
are exceptions though, title track Look At The Fool is
excellent, a smooth, deeply soulful ballad on which the vocals
really shine, which along with the passionate Who Could
Deny You, stands out above rest.
