Singer Songwriter

Tim Buckley was a folk singer/songwriter in the 1960s and early 1970s. He experimented with music and improvisation, as seen in his albums "Lorca" and "Starsailor". Despite his efforts to transition into pop music, he faced little success. His later albums went unnoticed by critics and the public.
Tragically, Tim Buckley passed away at the age of 28 due to a lethal combination of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose. This occurred the day after completing his final show on a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.
Buckley is also known as the father of singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley, who tragically died young while on his way to achieving musical success in the 1990s.

Every US and UK A and B-side, including one that was never issued! From folk to rock to psychedelia to jazz to soul, Tim Buckley continued to evolve and explore – pushing boundaries at every turn. Through the course of his career, 10 singles were issued from his 9 albums, and they are collected for the very first time on Wings: The Complete Singles 1966-1974. Working with producers including Paul Rothchild, Jac Holzman, Jerry Yester, and Jerry Goldstein, Buckley’s recordings always sounded incredible - each producer bringing the right feel to his progressing musical persona. With material running chronologically from his self-titled debut from 1966 through 1974’s Look At The Fool, Wings traces his development as an artist and writer. Of special note is the unissued 1967 single Once Upon A Time and Lady, Give Me Your Key - the latter making its first appearance anywhere! The booklet features photos and ephemera, as well as an extensive, new interview with Buckley’s longtime friend and collaborator, Larry Beckett, done specifically for this collection. Mastered by Grammy® winner Michael Graves, the audio sparkles like never before. An excellent primer for the curious (and fans of Tim’s son, Jeff Buckley) and essential for those in the know, Wings: The Complete Singles 1966-1974 lets the legacy of the great Tim Buckley fly.
