4 stars Here's the thing.....Greetings from LA was considered by critics to be something of a necessary comeback by Tim Buckley. Away wrestling his demons and this was mean't to be a return to previous form. The nice thing about opinions is that they vary so much. Personally I believe this is one of Tim Buckley's finest albums. Pure vintage psychedelic, progressive blues. The emphasis being on blues. The album starts off with the irreristable ' Move With Me'. Pure lyrical sexuality grooving here, not for the fainthearted or squeamish! Another great decadent number follows with ' Get on Top', percussion and congas are great on this release giving the album a good eclectic feel too. The next track demonstrates TB singing his heart out on ' Sweet Surrender A mindblowing song that builds and builds all the while showing the artists true vulnerability. The album returns to some more up tempo rock and rollin and finishes strongly with two great tracks ' Hong Kong Bar' and ' Make It Right'. Guaranteed to get you out of your seat, again great percussion. Excellent album and good to see Tim Buckley now added to the archives. It will be a treat to see Jeff around here someday too.
