Recording information: LA, CA (06/1967). Initially a folksinger, Tim Buckley quickly defied stylistic categorization. GOODBYE & HELLO offers a rich musical vocabulary, from plaintive love song to free-form expressionism, with the artist's remarkable voice at its core. Buckley's acrobatic voice dances around the melodies, coloring his material with raw emotion. His range is startling, from sonorous baritone to wild falsetto, but its utilization is never gratuitous. The beautiful, often-covered ballad "Morning Glory" is one of the highlights of this record. The haunting beauty of Tim Buckley's work is caught to perfection herein and continues to be influential.
