The Readers Have Spoken (Yet Another Series)

Hello dear readers,

Yesterday, I posted a video of one of my favorite musicians, Tim Buckley. The rapid, passionate and voluminous response to the post convinced me to plan a few Buckley posts in the coming days/weeks; however, Michael suggested a Buckley series. Although there are already two series underway (Talk Talk & Paisley Underground), I feel very motivated to begin work on a third, a Tim Buckley and related series. Buckley died at 28, so his studio recordings are limited, but there are several interesting archival releases and a number of nice live recordings to post. Also, there are some great albums such as Blue Afternoon and Starsailor, which are hard to come by in lossless (I have these), so Buckley has the makings for a potentially great series. And yes, I will also mix in some of Jeff's work. At this point, I am undecided about the length of the series, but it will probably be 10 to 15 posts. I'll get it started in a week or so. I hope this is good news for everyone :)

p.s. I have several Buckley live bootlegs, which might also be a nice addition to this series

  5. Would be a great series! Always "knew" of Tim Buckley, but never "concentrated" on him ... would love to do that now!

  10. Anon. I will include Rhino's deluxe edition of Buckley's debut and hopefully the 2010 Japanese remaster of "Starsailor"

  11. Excellent. For some incomprehensible reason, some of his albums are practically impossible to find on CD, or any format for that matter. Blue afternoon and starsailor I've never owned because of this, so very much looking forward to your posts.

  13. Wow! I just visited (La) Luna again to see how you replied to my yesterday suggestion about Buckley series and I must admit I was completely stunned after seeing this message posted on the blog's main site.

    Thank you for deciding to start this series and for all this great work you're doing here! This is fantastic news indeed! I'm looking forward to all these new Tim Buckley posts.

  14. Michael, thank you for suggesting the series. I had pondered something like this a few months back, but you convinced me how viable such a series is and how timely. I promise it will be amazing, including some new remasters that have been recently released and some bootlegs

  15. My favorite singer from one of may favorite blogs! TIm Buckley is so rarely talked about much-less made a series of. Thank you so much!! - Square

  16. Square, I'm really looking forward to this series. You're right- Tim Buckley deserves far more attention than his work gets. We'll try to fix that in some small way
