After the fairly straightforward West Coast folk rock of Tim Buckley and Goodbye and Hello, 1969’s Happy Sad finds the young singer-songwriter transitioning to a more experimental sound. Featuring killer guitar work from Lee Underwood, stellar vibraphone from David Friedman and a much stronger jazz bent, the record marks the beginning of Buckley’s exploration of atmosphere, mood, and octave bending vocal gymnastics, elements that would take an even more avant garde turn on subsequent albums. After 40 years, how does Happy Sad stand up? Only a song-by-song analysis will reveal the answer..

Tim Buckley possessed a golden voice that spanned the range from baritone to tenor. More importantly, he knew what to do with it. Sometimes he used it simply as a vehicle to carry the lyrics. Other times he used it as an extraordinary musical instrument in its own right. This box contains three live albums on four CDs from Buckley’s classic phase: “Dream Letter – Live in London 1968” (on two CDs), “Live At The Troubadour 1969” and “Honeyman – Recorded Live 1973”. These performances feature eight songs that were never otherwise recorded, alongside selections from Goodbye And Hello, Happy Sad, Blue Afternoon, Lorca, Greetings From LA and Sefronia.
