I've heard about Tim after is son Jeff. Sometimes it happens. Then I've discovered his music on a tribute album called
Sing a Song for You: A Tribute to Tim Buckley (curiously an album where Tram were featured and me far from wondering that one day I would meet them and play with them). Much later I've decided to buy his first two albums and I became more familiar with his 12 string guitar sound and charismatic vocals. I obviously preferred
Goodbye and Hello to the debut. Pleasant Street explains it.
