Album Notes & Community Reviews

Unearthed and released over two decades after it was recorded, this mesmerizing concert captures Buckley transitioning from a traditional folk singer into a boundary-pushing avant-garde vocalist. Supported by Danny Thompson's fluid acoustic bass, the incredibly intimate performance is widely considered a pinnacle of his tragically short career.
