Tim Buckley - Bear's Sonic Journals: Merry-Go-Round at the Carousel CD

This is the most important Tim Buckley release since Dream Letter, featuring a singular performance with a jazz-rock lineup that calls to mind Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. Buckley, father of Jeff Buckley, made his mark with his Southern California folk-rock sound and four- octave vocal range. But this rich weave of accessible, warm, improvisational music reveals Buckley in a light never before captured on tape, including two newly discovered songs ("Blues, Love" and "The Lonely Life"), early drafts of Buckley classics, and a stunning cover of Fred Neil's "Merry-Go-Round." Recorded by the Grateful Dead's legendary soundman Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the infamous LSD chemist, this is one of the treasures of his archive.
