Personal life
Buckley met Mary Guibert in 1964 during French class. Their relationship inspired some of Buckley's songs and took him time away from his tumultuous home life. During the war, his father sustained a head injury along with a serious work-related injury, which was said to have harmed his mental stability. On October 25, 1965, Buckley and Guibert married. The marriage was turbulent, and when Guibert became pregnant, Buckley found himself neither able nor able to cope with marriage and fatherhood. The couple divorced in October 1966, about a month before their son, Jeff, was born.
In April 1970, Buckley married Judy Brejot Sutcliffe in Santa Monica and adopted her son, Taylor Keith Sutcliffe.
Early life and career
Tim Buckley was born in Washington, D.C., on Valentine's Day, 1947, to Elaine (née Scalia), an Italian American, and Timothy Charles Buckley Jr., a decorated World War II soldier and son of Irish immigrants from Cork. He spent his early childhood in Amsterdam, New York, a major city about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Albany, which is about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Albany. Buckley, a five-year-old boy, started listening to his mother's progressive jazz recordings, especially Miles Davis.
Buckley's musical journey began when his family moved to Bell Gardens in southern California in 1956. His grandfather introduced him to Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, his mother to Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland, and his father to Hank Williams and Johnny Cash's country music. Buckley taught himself the banjo at age 13, and with several others, formed a folk group influenced by the Kingston Trio, which performed at local high school functions.
Buckley was elected to class offices, served on the baseball squad, and quarterbacked the football team during high school. He broke two fingers on his left hand during a football game, permanently damaging them. According to him, the injury prevented him from playing barre chords. This impairment may have resulted in the use of extended chords, many of which do not require barres. However, Buckley's disability argument seems to have been misconstrued because Buckley's appearance on the final episode of the television show The Monkees, which was broadcast on March 25, 1968, clearly shows him using a barre chord while playing "Song to the Siren" on an out-of-tune 12-string guitar.
Buckley attended Loara High School in Anaheim, California. He took classes and stopped playing football, and he mainly concentrated on music. Larry Beckett, his future lyricist, and Jim Fielder, a bass player with whom he formed two musical groups, the Bohemians, who first performed popular music, and the Harlequin 3, a folk band that regularly mixed spoken word and beat poetry into their performances.
Buckley and his lyricist/friend Beckett produced scores of songs, some of which appeared on Tim Buckley's debut album, Tim Buckley. During this period, "Buzzin' Fly" was written and was on display on Happy Sad, his 1969 LP.
Buckley's college career at Fullerton College lasted two weeks in 1965. Buckley dedicated himself to music and playing L.A. folk clubs after dropping out of college. He played regularly at a club co-founded by Dan Gordon in the summer of 1965. He appeared in Buena Park's White Room and the Los Angeles Troubadour's Monday-night hootenannies. Buckley was named one of "The Orange County Three" by the Cheetah magazine in 1997, as well as Steve Noonan and Jackson Browne.
The Mothers of Invention's drummer Jimmy Carl Black recommended Buckley to Herb Cohen, the Mothers' boss in February 1966 after a gig at It's Boss. Cohen saw potential in Tim and landed him a long stint at the Night Owl Cafe in Greenwich Village, West 3rd and MacDougal. Jainie Goldstein, Buckley's mother, led him to New York. When living in the Bowery with Jainie, Buckley ran into Lee Underwood and begged him to play guitar for him. The two became lifelong friends and collaborators.
Buckley produced a six-song demo acetate disc under Cohen's direction, which he sent to Elektra records owner Jac Holzman, who gave him a recording contract.
