TIM BUCKLEY an incredibly thin wire, just nineteen-years-old, is already a kind of quintessence of nouvelle, the sensitivity apparent in the very fineness of his features. The man is a study in fragile contrasts, yet everything is in key, precise.

His songs are exquisitely controlled, quiet, complex mosaics of powerful electric sound, they hold the magic of Japanese water colors. The voice -- crisp, full of strength and character -- can soar, yet remain tender and delicate. This is TIM BUCKLEY.
