I've got his second lp, timbucktoo. seriously though, I think, like with most artists, his early stuff was better, and the general cultural shift that came with the 70s dragged him down in a musical sense.

Maybe. But then again there are a lot of artists who shine in personal eras of inspiration and then, due to circumstance, loose their connection to music and can never quite get it back.

You again! It seems like you were once on a Tim Buckley binge like I am now. Anyways, I agree. I think Tim was hit or miss. But when he hit...my goodness.

I'd say "Blue Afternoon" is his best work.

hard to 'judge' work of one who didn't even get thru their 20's. nothing he did was quite "shit". under pressures of the reactionary '70's, and being just in his mid-late 20's, he explored a more mainstream style 'soul' sound. the reactionary times offered less support, so along w his marriage break-up and loss of his son, he got into drugs. i've no doubt that had he lived he would have integrated all of his exploring and created a new level of work w great sensitivity, creativity and mastery.
