Il disco


Con questo disco, Buckley entrò in una fase di sperimentazione musicale, influenzato soprattutto dal free jazz e dal rock psichedelico, continuata negli album successivi Lorca e Starsailor. I brani sono estremamente dilatati, imbastiti su poche progressioni d'accordi e sugli esperimenti vocali di Buckley.

[en] Happy Sad (album)

Happy Sad is the third album by American singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in April 1969. It was recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California and was produced by former Lovin' Spoonful members Zal Yanovsky and, coincidentally, his subsequent replacement Jerry Yester. It marked the beginning of Buckley's experimental period, as it incorporated elements of jazz that he had never used before. Many of the songs here represent a departure from the binary form that dominated much of his previous work. The sound of the album is characterized by David Friedman's vibraphone, an instrument which gives the album a more relaxed tone than Buckley's earlier work. The songs are much longer than on previous releases and this style continued through to later works. The vocals on the album are more drawn out than earlier performances and this represents the beginning of Buckley using his voice like an instrument. The lyrics on Happy Sad represent a change as Buckley stopped working with Larry Beckett, his lyricist on the two previous albums Tim Buckley and Goodbye and Hello, and began writing the lyrics himself. Buckley's self-penned efforts stand in contrast to Beckett's occasionally political and literary-style work.[3] Buckley would also go on to author all his own material on the following two albums.

[es] Happy Sad

Happy Sad es el tercer álbum de Tim Buckley es sin duda el más maduro y reflexivo de toda su corta pero intensa carrera. Los toques blues de la guitarra de Lee Underwood se hacen notar en Strange Feelin la pista que abre el disco. Los efectos jazzisticos de Buckley hacen que se recuerde a los discos finales de Miles Davis mientras que el bajo de John Miller pone el fondo envolvente que caracteriza este álbum mágico. La vena emocional llega a su punto culminante con Dream Letter, mientras que los ritmos celtas de Gypsy woman dejan claro los recursos vocales de Buckley y que tanta controversia han generado durante décadas en los críticos musicales pero que han servido para caracterizar al músico. La canción que cierra el álbum, Sing a song about of you, es un tema evocador y sencillo pero lleno de pasión, algo frecuente en sus anteriores discos. Sin duda, una de las mejores obras de Tim Buckley que le consagró como una leyenda del folk tanto dentro como fuera de los Estados Unidos.
