By the early 70s, the surreal adventurism of albums such as Lorca (1970) and 1971s Starsailor had began to threaten Tim Buckley's commercial survival. Honeyman, the third of Tim Buckley's posthumously released live albums, bridges the gap between Buckley's patchy penultimate album and his frenetic, ever-experimental live persona. Recorded for live broadcast on New York radio station, WLR in 1973, it's the least remarkable of the live trilogy and subsequently re-affirms why the critical tide was beginning to turn against him. The arrangements of "Devil Eyes" and the four songs taken from Sefronia (Fred Neil's "Dolphins", "Sally Go Round The Roses," "Stone In Love" and "Honeyman") are sparser and more focused but it just doesn't represent his best work. As ever the best live Buckley material is from the 60s. However Happy/Sad's "Buzzin'Fly" and Goodbye/Hello's "Pleasant Street" strut much more beautifully on Dream Letter.
