Blue J Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thinking about octaves, when it comes to vocals...two who stand out in my mind are Tim and Jeff Buckley, both- I'm not sure what Tim's full range was, but Jeff's was three and a half octaves, which is just crazy! He had such an astonishing voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Are you two talking about THE Tim Buckley from the sixties?? He was amazing. Not many remember him. Even back then, not many knew of him. Segue, start out with the album that has Song For Jainie - it might be his debut album. I think the album is simply called Tim Buckley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 For anyone that doesn't like polls, get lost. Wondered why my ears were burning... :D Love the Police...but RUSH, as noted, has the stronger overall catalog. Weaker, too, actually, depending what albums you choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had such an astonishing voice. I love jeff's voice...never checked out his dad, where should I start? Find an album of his called Happy Sad. Once you hear his voice, you'll instantly be struck by how much Jeff was influenced by him (while Jeffy had so many other influences, too, though, when it came to his music). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is Jeff his son? He must be quite old already. I remember very clearly reading in the New York Daily News the day Tim Buckley died. That was decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i figure I was in enough trouble so I went with Neil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Is Jeff his son? He must be quite old already. I remember very clearly reading in the New York Daily News the day Tim Buckley died. That was decades ago. Yes, Tim died in 1975, age 28. Jeff drowned in the Wolf River, in Memphis, Tennessee, during the sessions for his second album, in May of 1997 (the anniversary of it is ext week, actually). He was 30. :rose: for both of them.

I have Happy Sad, Lorca, and Sefronia (the last of which was an attempt at crossing over into rock, in 1972- and was not very successful. I think the other two are classics, though).

But i figure I was in enough trouble so I went with Neil. Well, when Neil backs off and plays it straight, I find him uninteresting, whereas with Stewart, he's still compelling when playing a simple rhythm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
