Book Reviews of Blue Melody: Tim Buckley Remembered
Book Review: A Terrific Tribute
Summary: 5 Stars
As a biographer, I read countless books centered on people of fame."Blue Melody" stands as one of the most fascinating,beautifully written, honest portrayals of friendship I have ever read. Tim Buckley was a very special person. "Blue Melody" is a very special book. You might only be familiar with Tim's unique and wonderful music. By the end of this excellent book readers will have great insight into the man,his complicated mind, and the love, confusion and self-abuse that alternately drove him to create haunting music that will never be equalled or forgotten. "Blue Melody" is a book unlike any other. Read it. You'll likely never forget it.Marley Brant
Book Review: Doesn't get better than this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this book up as soon as it was released, and read it completely soon after, I couldn't put it down. Mr. Underwood writes beautifully crafted prose, which is articulate, stimulating and even stirring. Whether you are a Tim Buckley fanatic or just starting to discover their wonderful music, this book will help you appreciate, and treasure their music that much more. The info gained is stuff you *won't read anywhere else, and his poem to Tim is moving (yes this guy can write some beautiful poetry too) BUY IT!Thanks so much for writing the book Mr.Underwood!!

Book Review: closest you can get to the man
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book for anyone familiar with Tim's music. To get the most out of the book, you should be intimately familiar with the majority of it, if not all. His life and music encapsulates so much of what was beautiful and painful about the philosophical and psychological changes of the 60s and 70s seen and heard on this deeply personal level. If you appreciate what he is trying to do and communicate, you will like a lot of his work. If not, maybe it's not for you...Book Review: I know Lee and Knew Tim as well
Summary: 5 Stars
We raised a lot of hell back then...No one could dance through a melody the way Lee did with his guitar ...he did it again with his words. Having known both he and Tim for years, I can say that you must read this book...you will know them both at the finish. What a sad day for all of us when Tim Died. The world was left with a void that will never be filled. I miss him to this day.I'm so glad that Lee wrote this book...There is a heart beat within these pages. You will feel it.Book Review: When it goes beyond...
Summary: 5 Stars
A great book, about one of the deepest personalities of the 60/70s scene. Lee Underwood writes as he play guitar : simply, softly, but with a unique, sincere and passionnate style that gives justice to the people he met, and to the music that was played over the years. I think that any music enthousiast can enjoy this, whether they appreciate Tim's music or not. There is more that music here, it just goes beyond that. Thanks to Lee and Tim for these moments.
