Greetings from L.A.

Tim Buckley has a vibe that suits perfectly with certain vibes and honestly for 7 bucks its a perfect buy. You can play this music during a party or during self-reflect moment but ultimately it will will not let you down.

The album showcases Buckley’s vocal range, musicianship, and his strengths as a singer-songwriter. The album is a Funkified Rockin’ accoustic ramble like the end of a good night of music at the corner bar. Pull up a chair, grab a libation, and let those toes tap out a beat. Buckley died before his time just as the rest of the world was beginning to catch up to his genius.

and it's still one of the favorites. saw him in seattle in early '74. he rocked out on a chrome electric guitar, and most of the audience sat in stunned shock. i guess they were expecting the folkie side of tim... he wasn't in the mood. it was awesome. love his other sounds, too... "dolphins" in particular comes to mind, but i'll always love "greetings from l.a."

Seen him and his band in a small bar in Mi. in the 70's Almost no one danced,everyone just stared at the talent My best bar band experience ever

Okay, I've had this record (vinyl) since 1972 or 73. I'm obviously not a kid anymore but I still love music that makes you want to move. This album is raw, sensual and it makes you want to move. Buckley had incredible range with his voice and the mystery is why this album is so different from his other work. I've sampled some others and frankly, they don't grab me. I realize that some great music is an acquired taste and requires a few listens but they sound so different. I don't know if this album was what he considered to be "good" music or something that he did because he thought it would sell. I don't care it works! I'm just very disappointed that there doesn't seem to be more out there like it. Play it loud and enjoy!

I loved Tim Buckley's second album, "Goodbye and Hello," when it first came out, especially its magnetic keystone number, "Pleasant Street." (OK, I date myself - I'm 58.) I remembered him as the finest voice of his era. So when I started browsing iTunes, I looked him up again and discovered "Get on Top" and "Sweet Surrender." The former is a gas, and the multi-octave scat singing ("talking in tongues") breath-taking. As good as it is, Buckley takes the intensity a notch a higher with the next cut. "Sweet Surrender" totally blew me away. It's one of the most powerful music vocals I've ever heard. The sheer intensity of his singing here took me (and maybe it's just me) to as much of a spiritual space as a sensual one, despite, or maybe even because of, the funky sex theme of the album as a whole. "Devil Eyes" and "Hong Kong Bar" are not quite at the level of those two, but they're close, and have more than their fair share of exquisite moods and moments. (And who can argue with the courage of a man who sings lovingly of licking stretch marks and getting his tongue down between the toes?) I could have done without "Nighthawkin'," but I enjoyed "Move With Me" and "Make It Right," even if they don't move me to the extent that "Sweet Surrender" does. The development of his voice as a musical instrument in its own right, peaking on the over-the-edge exploration of his previous album, "Starsailor," is clearly at work to great effect here, too, despite the radical break in styles between the two albums. Even if this is a more "commercial" album, Buckley goes all out. I guess he just couldn't help himself. OK, I admit it, I'm a fan - big-time. But as long as I'm here, I also recommend to the similarly-smitten some excellent Tim Buckley covers: "I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain" by his estranged son, Jeff; "Morning Glory" by Steve Katz on the only valuable Blood, Sweat & Tears album, "Child Is Father to the Man"; "Song to the Siren" on Robert Plant's "Dreamland" album, but, even better, by Cocteau Twins on This Mortail Coil's "It'll End in Tears" album - sheer magic! And that's what it's all about, isn't it?

dude what the heck i didnt know that tim "ebay" buckley was on itunes.

Jeff Buckley and his father, Tim, made very strong and very different impressions during their too-short careers. In this release, Tim showed himself as a young buck on the prowl, a far cry from his early willowy folk tunes or his experimental jazz vocals. This is the one to put on when you're ready to move, in what way, or what direction, is up to you. As Tim says in "Move With Me", whatever you do, there's a good chance it will be all night long. Part of my collection since its first release and if you're in the mood, it ought to be in yours.

Buckley is a one of a kind. Intensity, exhibitionism, artistry and an unbelievable voice. This album is sex-funk with many artful twists. Others are folk, jazz, proressive-protest songs...very much worth a try, but listen to excerpts. You will not recognize one album from the next. Buckley is a different artist on each album.

Tim Buckley was one of the best singer-songwriters of his day. Unfortunately, his life ended at an early age, before time and exposure could propel him into the mainstream. With little radio play, these gems remain mostly unknown. For those of us from the Woodstock era, Tim is remembered as one of the few artists who bridged the gap between folk and rock music. "Get On Top" is an all-time favorite of mine, and I am happy that I don't have to experience it on vinyl alone anymore. How about releasing his album, "Hello and Goodbye" sometime soon?
