Tim Buckley: Sefronia - May 1973

By Mick MacVe

This album is definitely more mainstream than any other. It may be a good start for those new to Tim Buckley because the structures of the song are instantly recognisable. Tim was particularly proud of the title song which is the least accessible thing here.
