His talent is orgasmic. He could've made millions if he'd played by the industry rules, but he chose to make mind-blowing, daring records like Starsailor. Hear hear!
I saw Tim Buckley when he played a small club here in Vancouver. He was an amazing singer to see live. Nice to see Tim remembered after all these years.
Also, another thing--the title track was literally just Tim's voice. All of the music on that track is Tim Buckleys voice layered. It's really beautiful.
One of my favorite albums of all time! You bring up so many "hidden gems" (though they migjt be obvious to both crate diggers, and lovers of music..)! I'm going to watch the video now - so excited! Thank you Oliver
I've never quite been able to get into this one, but it's cool to hear you explain why it's a classic - good vid. For me the best thing from Buckley is the Dream Letter live album - just showcases the raw electric quality of his vocals even better than the studio albums and is an entrancing experience for almost a 2 hour running time. Probably one of my favourite albums ever actually.
deep cuts damn u r the man for seeing a comment like that and giving a response like that what a guy like as a musician I'm lucky to have u what straight forward g like damn bro
I love that Time covered so much ground in just a few short years. He's definitely undervalued...his more experimental albums, like this one, are incredible to this day. Interesting that you mentioned 'It'll End In Tears'...being a huge fan of 4AD's output from that era, it's one of my favourite records of al time. Surely a candidate for another Deep Cuts Essential?
Loving this series!! The joy that I see in your face when you talk about the music you love is so infectious, and I can't wait to get into this record. Your channel is for sure inspiring to a fellow music lover, and I can't wait to see what else you got up your musical sleeve! Thanks for keeping my late study nights interesting
On Song to the Siren: "puzzled as the oyster" is from the earlier versions of the track, when he recorded it acoustically. On the album version, it's "I'm as puzzled as a newborn child". Think there are a few other lyrical differences as well.

Timmy (IMO) is the most underrated, unappreciated singer of all time . Thank you for covering Starsailor Tim considered this his masterpiece and it is! - interesting someone mentions Björk in this feed as one of her albums featured a vocal layered track which a lot of journalists claim was never done before! My favourite musician of all time. Live he was even more free and interesting. Another artist worth a mention is Terry Reid - also very unappreciated, talented and alot of folks don't realise Jimmy Page's original choice for what was to be Led Zep.
I'd say the most amazing part of Starsailor's title track is that it's just his voice layered and chopped up and it is just horrifying. Thanks for giving this record more exposure and I'd love to see you do a Deep Cuts on Peter Stampfel, the fun, weird uncle of American folk.
I think Tim Buckley is great, but I mostly listened to Goodbye And Hello. I'll definitely give this one a listen. Thanks for the suggestion. PS: What about a guide to The Smiths and Morrissey?
I think you forgot to mention Larry Beckett as the lyricist......Larry helped Tim write songs early in his career for his first two albums before they split ways. Tim then recorded Happy Sad, Blue Afternoon and Lorca without his input, but brought him back for Starsailor....cant discount Beckett.
Unrelated to this video, but would you consider making a guide to Bjork. I read a Pitchfork article for the 20th anniversary of her Homogenic album (also rated a perfect 10 apparently) and chased it up a bit further. There is bits that I enjoy in her music but I find it pretty dense and not really sure that I can appreciate it "properly" if I might call it that. But other than my own confusion I think she is a controversial and influential figure of music for the past few decades, so it'd be worthwhile. Thanks!
This, Blue Afternoon and Happy Sad are definitely my favourite 3 Tim Buckley albums. All on original vinyl, where you get the proper artwork. He was / is unique.
This should be interesting. One of my favourite singers of all time and responsible for my favourite song of all time. That said, I own Starsailor, I tried my best to get into it, but I'm too weak. I can't stand it, genius or not. And I must say I'm glad I discovered Tim Buckley before every critic labeled Starsailor as the essential, genius TB album - because if I had started with it I would never have discovered my personal favourite albums, probably would've just asked "what's wrong with y'all" and ran away crying. :)
Is that a 'Miles Davis' T-Shirt you are wearing in this video? If so, does this mean 'A Guide to Miles' is in the making perhaps? (i sincerely hope so...)
It certainly is! A Miles guide is something I definitely will be tackling in the future, need to work up to it though because of how many releases there are!
Oliver will never see this comment, I'm sure....but I'd sure love to hear him talk about Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. It's crazier than Starsailor - either really genius or really bad. Opinions vary.
Oliver how dare you put this instead of Lorca, you finally cover my favorite artist then you choose the wrong album! Still one of the best albums of all time tho.
It's a shame he has to sing like that for most of the album. This and the band Live's singer's vocals just make it impossible for me to take the songs seriously or listen to more than one song at a time, it's like those shreds videos. At least here it seems intentional.
I hope this will somehow usher in more appreciation for Tim Buckley's music. Lorca is his masterpiece imo
Me too! I love Lorca too, Starsailor is my personal fave though
Lorca is a must have!
Lorca sucks, Starsailor rocks !!!
@@jonbilbao2207 take it back! Lorca rocks too imo
His talent is orgasmic. He could've made millions if he'd played by the industry rules, but he chose to make mind-blowing, daring records like Starsailor. Hear hear!
Totally. Everytime I here is voice I wonder why he wasnt a huge artist.
I saw Tim Buckley when he played a small club here in Vancouver.
He was an amazing singer to see live.
Nice to see Tim remembered after all these years.
Tim Buckley is super underrated
Tim Buckley. Jeff Buckley, love them both :D

Good checklist

This is a damn good record glad you reviewed it, hopefully it can get more exposure
This seems right up my alley, thanks!

nice work, breathtaking album indeed
Lee Underwood said that Tim once told him that Starsailor was his masterpiece.
Definitely going to be checking this out. Need some more folk rock listen to
I love Tim Buckley, but I favour Greetings From L.A the most.
You should cover some Jeff Buckley! :)
Heitzsche a jeff buckley discography would be grea... shit.
I think Tim Buckley is great, but I mostly listened to Goodbye And Hello. I'll definitely give this one a listen. Thanks for the suggestion.

Why did you skip over "Moulin Rouge" ?
A fine video btw :)
Fucking love this record, glad you're fan of it as well!!!

What's your favorite song?
My fav. Tim Buckley period is 1968-70. Dream Letter, Live At The Troubadour, Happy Sad, Blue Afternoon, Lorca, Starsailor
Very insightful and you know what youre talking about, checked out your 5 Modern Prog video, subbed :)
Ever considered doing a 5 albums for black and/or death metal??
Great channel!
Is that a 'Miles Davis' T-Shirt you are wearing in this video?

It certainly is! A Miles guide is something I definitely will be tackling in the future, need to work up to it though because of how many releases there are!
How about a Frank Zappa guide, would that be THE challenge?
A guide to Boris next? Pleaseeeee
A friend met him on venice beach..1960s....tim was a star and yet had to drive a cab to pay bills, hated his son i guess.
Oliver will never see this comment, I'm sure....but I'd sure love to hear him talk about Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. It's crazier than Starsailor - either really genius or really bad. Opinions vary.
Plz do A Guide To Death Grips
A Guide to Death Grips
This Mortal Coil (Cocteau Twins) did the best cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren".
:yeetiver:
So this is what Yoko would have sounded like if she wasn't... terrible...
LOL
Oliver how dare you put this instead of Lorca, you finally cover my favorite artist then you choose the wrong album! Still one of the best albums of all time tho.
super duper THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME TOOOOOOO LAUUUUUUUGH

well with that kind of threat I simply had to reply
deep cuts why are you so cool
@@jackm7933 He spends two hours a day in the fridge.
Lol Tim Buckley is essential but Jeff Buckleys "Grace" isn't? It's superior in every way. Lyrics, vocal talent, guitar playing,.. WTF
When did he say It isnt?
@@richardroberson2564 Jeff Buckley obviously isn't 'essential' to him
