Tim
Buckley: Starsailor - November 1970
By
Mick MacVe
"I
was as close to Coltrane as anyone has come." - Tim
Buckley : Warner Brothers press release
The
songs sound free form, but for the careful listener there
is structure; the songs still sound improvised, but there
is a much more urgent feel. Tim's voice is stunning in it's
range, imagination and sensuality. You will either love
this album desperately ("the second best album of all
time" - me) or hate it with venom (everyone else I
know!).
