Tim Buckley

We've got...

Tim is the University of vinyl.

The professor says, holy shit.

Is this a holy shit moment, guys? I don't know.

I knew we were going to rile up Mazzy.

For me, Jeff Buckley is great.

Tim is an acquired taste.

He's good, but I think Jeff supersedes the father.

Those brass rockers from the early 70s, their album Vehicle.

from 1970, Wooden Ships, Dharma for One, before which we had Middle of the Road, a single from them, 1971, Tweedledee and a Tweedledum, before that Mr Tim Buckley from the Lorca album, 1970, I had a talk with my woman, and we started the set with Frank Zappa, and the Mothers of Invention of course, My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama, From Weasels Ripped My Flesh, 1970.

Over 60s Club radio show on Eternal Fusion.

On we go with The Scaffold.

He's in charge.

This is some Tim Buckley, coming home to you, happy time, recorded for John Peel on Radio 1 on the 1st of April of what year? Ooh, 92? 1968.

Tim Buckley.

Oh, Tim Buckley.

I thought it was Tim

Burgess.

Coming home to you, Brack, it's happy time, Tim Buckley.

Can I just say

It's been great tonight, sorry.

Is that Tim Buckley calling, texting me from the dead? I'd like to think so.

However, I don't mind the living Tim Buckley either.

That was nice, great song.

I wish I knew which song you were referring to, Tim Buckley.

Ah, maybe it was Waylon Jennings because it just came in.

Yes, I love his big voice.

But music was coming at us from all sorts of directions.

We had some friends as lads growing up who were more skilled at winkling things out, singer-songwriters that I'd never heard of, like Tim Buckley and Phil Oakes and David Ackles.

Smaller names now than, you know, the Leonard Cohens and Bob Dylans and Joni Mitchells, who also had massive influence on our repertoire.

But yeah, so we were listening to that.

right thank you all right thanks

so so um yeah and actually the list of people who um were younger who played it when they were young is very very short it's like tim buckley joan baez james taylor bob dylan you know so cameron winter had this very enviable year right where he not only had found found success with his rock band geese and their album getting killed which we talked about endlessly on this show um but then additionally His very...

I wouldn't necessarily use the word bizarre, but his very unique solo album, Heavy Metal.

Unexpected.

Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling died June 28th at the age of 50 after a series of heart attacks.

The following day, eclectic musician Tim Buckley died of an overdose at the age of 28.

10 years ago on a cold dark night.

There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.

My dad does not really like Jeff Buckley.

What? My massive music nerd father, who I credit with a lot of my love of music, not a big Jeff Buckley fan.

I guess we did talk about your dad in music.

Michael

are excellent.

It is a direct plea from Jeff to his friend Chris Dowd from the band Fishbone to not leave his pregnant girlfriend, and to be there for his unborn baby.

Childhood abandonment obviously carries a ton of baggage, but it is an issue especially close to Jeff Buckley, as he was abandoned by his father, folk musician Tim Buckley, while his mother was still pregnant with him.

He only met his father once, as an eight-year-old.

I mean, it has been covered a lot, but, you know, various people.

I think probably most famously, I think Tim Buckley did it, and that's possibly the one that most people like.

You know, the original is Fred Neil.

It's a little bit more sombre, his version.
