Tim Buckley: Talking In Tongues

Steve Turner, MOJO, July 1995

You probably don’t 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, didn’t get the plug you may have wanted.
