Cheers for the reaction Nick. Tim's actually Jeffs dad. He sadly died at 28yrs old from a drug overdose. You did another reaction of his recently for me but it was just audio. Unfortunately there's not too many visual ones out there of Tim. He had such a range of styles from folk, soul, funk, jazz etc. He had a tenor voice with a vocal range of 5 and a half octave. He was well ahead of his time. Another great artist gone too soon.
Interesting note - due to budgetary constraints he couldn't afford to bring his band over to the UK so this is basically a pick-up combo featuring members of the English band Family. They do an incredible job, considering
Tim and Jeff are related actually! Tim Buckley is Jeff's father. Both died very young. Tim at age 28, 1975 and Jeff at age 30, 1997. I hope you check out more of Tim's music because his range really is impressive. I believe he had a 5 octave range and you can absolutely see where Jeff got it from. And I don't know if you caught that thumbnail when the video finished, of the Tim vs Jeff vocal battle. I remember another reactor had reacted to it in the past and would love to hear your opinions on that vocal battle from a singer's perspective especially.
