Jeff's dad, Tim Buckley is a tough one. I deliberated about writing this for so long that I lost all momentum. A lot of people are going to read this as sacrilege but I've tried and tried and he just doesn't hold my attention. He's one of those artists that I feel I should like but there's just not much there that grabs me and makes me pay attention. he has a similar voice to his son, but not as good and the songs aren't as interesting. It seems unfair to compare him to Jeff, but if it wasn't for Buckley Jr's music I'd probably never have checked out his old man.
Now, I like folk rock, and I like a lot of his contemporaries but i just can't dig it. Maybe I'm listening to the wrong albums (I've heard good things about "Greetings From LA" so maybe I'll give that a go one day but right now it's not top of my list of priorities.) Many of you may dig this but for now, it's not for me, Mostly here he just comes across as a crap version of Scot Walker. Here's "Song Of The Magician"...
