Album Notes & Community Reviews
Completely abandoning the avant-garde jazz and sparse folk of his previous records, Tim Buckley aggressively embraced deeply rhythmic, sex-drenched funk rock. 'Greetings From L.A.' is a wonderfully playful, intensely energetic exploration of urban sleaze, utilizing his astonishing vocal range to deliver fiercely passionate, heavily R&B-inflected grooves.
