HAPPY SAD

This is Tim Buckley's high water mark, his right of ascension. The childish tomfoolery is gone, what this record brings to bear is a mature, focused artist whose voice is so powerful Paul "Earthquake" Pena called him "The Dinosaur Exterminator".

This is a record for a sunny day sitting by a lake. Progressive in nature yet subtly influenced by current pop and jazz trends, Happy Sad starts and stops and jolts and winds and meanders until all you hear is Buckley's voice ringing in your ears. "Buzzin' Fly" is worth the price of this disc alone, and is one of my favorite tracks of all time.
