Greetings From L.A. is a manic album. The music is funk and jazz rock. That's according to Wikipedia. I think it's a hard rock and blues rock album. Tim Buckley switches between singing normally and singing in a really high falsetto voice.

Tim Buckley is certainly all horned up and looking for kinky sex, which certainly makes for a wild, fun and entertaining album.

This album is fun to listen to. It's a bit chaotic and uneven. Some might say the long songs jam, but I'd say they lose focus, or change direction and deserve to be distinct songs in their own right. This album is certainly worth listening to since it's so mental. I'm not sure that it needs to be on the 1001 Albums list, though.

All the songs are good. The stand outs are: Move with MeGet on TopSweet SurrenderHong Kong Bar and Make It Right.

★★★★★★★★☆☆
