Tim Buckley – The Dream Belongs To Me (Rare And Unreleased Recordings 1968/1973)

A fascinating collection of rare and previously unreleased material, The Dream Belongs To Me offers a deeper look into the extraordinary creative evolution of Tim Buckley during one of the most adventurous periods of his career. Spanning recordings from 1968 to 1973, the album captures Buckley moving far beyond traditional folk music into increasingly experimental, jazz-influenced, and emotionally fearless territory.

Possessing one of the most remarkable voices of his generation, Buckley combined poetic songwriting with improvisational freedom and an unmatched vocal range. This collection highlights both the intimacy of his acoustic performances and the boundary-pushing ambition that defined his later work.

The inclusion of Song To The Siren - one of Buckley’s most beloved and haunting compositions - stands as a major highlight, while tracks such as Buzzin’ Fly, Sing A Song For You, and Happy Time showcase his gift for melodic warmth and emotional vulnerability. Elsewhere, recordings like Danang, Freeway Dixieland Rocketship Blues, and Quicksand reveal the experimental spirit and jazz-infused improvisation that made Buckley such a singular and influential artist.

Rather than functioning as a simple archive release, the album paints a vivid portrait of an artist constantly reinventing himself, balancing beauty, abstraction, tenderness, and raw emotional intensity.

Atmospheric, deeply personal, and endlessly rewarding, The Dream Belongs To Me is essential listening for fans of adventurous singer-songwriters and late 1960s/early 1970s folk experimentation.
