About
Tim Buckley made his reputation with long, improvisatory, jazz-influenced folk performances, but with <i>Greetings From L.A.</i> he transforms into a rough-and-tumble barroom rocker. With a traditional rock band behind him, along with a bevy of backup singers, Buckley turns tough on “Move With Me,” “Get On Top,” and “Nighthawkin’.” He sings, screams, and seduces in a blues-rock performance worthy of Jim Morrison himself. It's Buckley’s most accessible and straightforward album, and one of his absolute best.
