His subsequent three albums, ''Lorca'', ''Blue Afternoon'', and ''Starsailor'', were a departure from folk rock and alienated his fans, especially the lattermost album, which featured free-jazz influences and his most extreme vocal performances yet. [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent Then Buckley fired his band and cut three albums in a completely different genre]] which he called [[IntercourseWithYou "sex-funk"]]: ''Greetings from L.A.'', ''Sefronia'', and ''Look at the Fool''.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly[=/=]GenreBusting: His music became gradually more ambitious, and ''Starsailor'' was the LogicalExtreme of his jazz-folk brand, with full use of his six-octave range, free jazz, and chanson elements added. In general, his musical style evolved a great deal over the course of his career.

As a child in California, Tim Buckley was steeped in classic jazz such as Music/FrankSinatra and Music/BillieHoliday as well as country like Music/JohnnyCash and Music/HankWilliams. In high school, he was [[TheAce popular and athletic]] before he started to cut class and became a RebelliousSpirit, focused on music.

In 1965, [[ShotgunWedding he got married to Mary Guilbert]], dropped out of Fullerton College after two weeks and pursued a music career in LA. He was signed to Creator/ElektraRecords, the label that would later sign Music/TheDoors, and recorded a folk-rock album, [[SelfTitledAlbum ''Tim Buckley'']], in August 1966. A few months later, he divorced his wife, who was pregnant at the time with their son, Jeff Buckley.

In 1967, at just 20 years old, he released an album that was judged to be very ambitious, ''Goodbye and Hello,'' which featured both introspective, personal folk songs and anti-war material. Subsequently, he signed with Music/FrankZappa's Straight Records, and later with another Zappa label, Disc Reet. Buckley's 1968 ''Happy Sad'', which was his greatest commercial success, was similarly eclectic. Buckley evolved constantly over the course of his career, starting from the more heavily orchestrated folk-jazz sound of his first few albums and moving towards a more minimalist sound. His subsequent three albums, ''Lorca'', ''Blue Afternoon'', and ''Starsailor'', were a departure from folk-rock and alienated his fans, even though Buckley considered ''Starsailor'', which featured free-jazz influences and his most extreme vocal performance yet. [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent Then Buckley fired his band and cut three albums in a completely different genre]] which he called [[IntercourseWithYou "sex-funk"]]: ''Greetings from L.A.'', ''Sefronia'', and ''Look at the Fool''. In 1975, Buckley got clean and began touring again, [[ShootTheShaggyDog only to die of a drug overdose after a concert in Santa Monica]] at age 28.
