86. Tim Buckley | Goodbye and Hello (1967)



  1. No Man Can Find the War
  2. Carnival Song
  3. Pleasant Street
  4. Hallucinations
  5. I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain
  6. Once I Was
  7. Phantasmagoria in Two
  8. Knight-Errant
  9. Goodbye and Hello
  10. Morning Glory

Goodbye and Hello is a sublime album. Each song projects confidence and intensity. The music is a grand mix of folk and rock and roll with a theatrical flair coming from Tim Buckley's vocals. Despite the style of music, Tim Buckley is channeling Jacques Brel more than Bob Dylan.

This album is worth owning. I can't believe I had never heard of Tim Buckley before. Every song is brilliant, but Pleasant Street, Hallucinations, I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain and Goodbye and Hello are the show-stoppers.

★★★★★★★★★★
