It's taken America a long time to come around to the magic of '60s/'70s troubadour Tim Buckley. During his tragically brief, incredibly prolific lifetime, Buckley proved to be a truly eclectic visionary, careening madly from folk-rock to boldly experimental work to quirky R&B and more. His unearthly, elastic tenor was a thing of rare beauty, as Buckley weaving his way through a song with the abandon of a rocker and the fluidity and grace of a jazzman. Buckley never broke through commercially, but his reputation has subsequently grown to impressive cult status. While he's long been revered in other countries, his homeland never even eked out a decent collection of his work until this two-disc marvel.
Hardcore Buckley fans might complain that MORNING GLORY contains only one previously unreleased song (an enthralling "Song to the Siren" taken from a MONKEES episode), but they'd been catered to by a wealth of live and unreleased material becoming available in the previous few years. For anyone just discovering Buckley, or simply desirous of one definitive compilation, this is a gem. In the sunny folk-jazz of "Strange Feelin',"

Alternative Press (5/01, pp.68-9) - 3 out of 5 - "...Effectively maps Buckley's musical vagaries....amply proving that not only was his vocal prowess peerless, but his ability to move listeners emotionally was even more impressive..." Mojo (Publisher) (4/01, p.116) - "...Those who've never heard the man couldn't ask for a more balanced introduction..." Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology Music Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   His early music is magnificent. Tim is one of the best singer-composers, and you should get his first three albums. Disk one, in this set, basically covers his GREAT early years. Most of disk two covers his: who needs a melody or acceptable song structure. In his last years, he went to doing many vulgar R and B stuff. You can listen to it, but, it's just not Buckley. In closing, get his first three Elektra releases, his London Concert, and any material related to his early period. Submitted by RONPOKATILOFF (Zion, IL, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
The Voice This is a great introduction, to an artist that defies categorization. In the short span of 9 albums, Buckley experimented with more styles, then most performers do in their lifetime! But, to truly appreciate Tims' work, we all must put our voices together, and get STARSAILOR re-issued!!! Only then, upon hearing that most challenging work in its entirety, can you finally appreciate, what a one of a kind artist, Tim Buckley really was. He soared, where no others ventured.
