Guide Note

Tim Buckley was an American singer and songwriter active during the late 1960s and 1970s. He is also the father of singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley. His diverse body of work encompassed folk music, as well as more adventurous, genre-defying music.¹ At the time of his death at the age of 28 from an accidental drug overdose, he was in debt and largely ignored by the record-buying public.²
