Rare
Tim Buckley Live LP With Unreleased Songs Due in August
By
Daniel Kreps - May 29, 2009
Nearly
34 years after his tragic death, a live recording of folk
legend Tim Buckley will finally reach fans’ ears when
Live at the Folklore Center, NYC - March 6th, 1967
is released on August 25th on NYC’s Tompkins Square
label.
Buckley’s
performance at the Folklore Center — a gig attended
by only 35 people that was thankfully recorded by folk impresario
Izzy Young — will be presented in its original running
order. The set will also include an unpublished interview
with Buckley by Young.
Featuring
mostly tracks off Buckley’s 1966 self-titled debut
and his 1967 follow-up Goodbye and Hello, the live recording
also contains six Buckley compositions that have never before
been released on any studio or live album: “Just
Please Leave Me,” “What Do You Do (He Never Saw
You),” “If The Rain Comes,” “Cripples
Cry,” “Country Boy” and “I Can’t
Leave You Loving Me.”
After
releasing nine albums ranging from folk to avant-garde over
the course of nine years, Buckley died of a heroin overdose
in 1975 at the age of 28. Buckley’s son Jeff went on
to become an acclaimed singer-songwriter in his own right,
releasing the classic album Grace in 1994. Like his father,
Jeff Buckley died too young, passing away the age of 30
after an accidental drowning on May 29th, 1997, twelve years
ago today.
