Tim Buckley was 19 when he recorded his self-titled debut in 1966. It was a work that was delicate and emotional; Buckley's tenor paved the way for all sensitive singer-songwriter types ever after.
Today, emo men only have to name check Buckley (who is also famous as Jeff Buckley's father who died at 28) as a favorite for instant cred, and Rhino Handmade is capitalizing on that fact by reissuing a two-disc set that includes both the stereo and mono versions of his debut.

15 at www.rhino.com for $39.98.
