    Backbeat Books

    Celebrating the personal and musical legacy of Tim Buckley, Blue Melody tells the untold story of an exceptionally gifted and charismatic singer-songwriter rebel of the 1960s. A combination of fond memoir and incisive biography, it is a remembrance of concerts, tours, recording sessions, friends, family, and fellow musicians - and the tumultuous times in which they lived. It is also an informed appraisal of Buckley's dramatic creative odyssey, offering in-depth insight into his complex and sometimes self-destructive personality The vivid narrative depicts Buckley's panoramic evolution across folk, folk-rock, jazz, avantgarde, and funk-rock, highlighting his refusal to be defined by critical or commercial success.
