About T. Buckley

T. Buckley stands quietly among a disappearing ilk of true craftsmen. Shadowed by his Western roots, his soul and voice are unmistakably genuine, and the result is a class of songsmith long revered and scarcely achieved. 

“From the sprawling expanses of ‘Before I Get To Turn Around’ to the acoustic, confessional Springsteenisms of ‘Holding My Place’ to the melodic majesty of ‘Marilyn’, Buckley is clearly on top of his game. ….Frame by Frame is beautifully produced and impeccably performed - a real little gem of a record. “ - Red Guitar Music UK 2021

“T. Buckley is a genuine songwriter, cast from the same mold as Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt & Steve Earle. His music is sincere, genuine, and from the heart. It was a pleasure to make this record with him.”
— Howard Bilerman, Grammy Nominated Producer (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen, Basia Bulat)
“Songs this easy to understand and enjoy are crafted and polished, every thought precise and each little line a gem… Buckley has the catchy melodies of the 70’s era singer-songwriters, when writers like James Taylor and Cat Stevens ruled, and the succinct writing of the later Texas school, Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. But the one he really reminds me of on this record is Jesse Winchester, who also never failed to put the song in songwriter.”
— Bob Mersereau, CBC Host/Author/Top 100 Canadian Blog
