Tim Buckley: Talking In Tongues
Steve Turner, MOJO, July 1995
IF TIM BUCKLEY was alive today I'd probably get in touch with him to apologise. You probably dont remember me, I'd say, but I interviewed you in a Hollywood rehearsal studio in September 1972 when you were just getting ready to go on the road supporting Frank Zappa. The fact is I never did write a story based on that encounter and so your then-new album, Greetings From LA, didnt get the plug you may have wanted.
