Lord Buckley - The Nazz

[ThePETERHEAD1]

Lord Buckley -early comic genius

[beachdog67]

The fact that I listened to this over and over as an impressionable youngster goes a long way toward explaining my --ahem-- Bent worldview.

[palteonato]

Spoken Word!

[mattybock]

I hope I'm not ruining this for anyone, but only now do I realize the reference to Nazareth.

[KenSebben]

@mattybock Yea, that's what I always thought too.

[NoSheep2]

if they can't straighten it they know a cat who knows a cat that's gonna get it straight

[26mistakes]

thank you, Tom Waits and PaganBodhisatva

[buttership]

The Genius of him,such a pity no one inherited that talent.

[911SBC]

@buttership It's out there, we just can't hear it. :-)

[francescodisanfranci]

do you dig it!!!the hippest exquiste cat that ever breathed every time i saw him do his thing was joyous for days

[glimmer2158]

He kinda sounds like Wolfman Jack.

[pogologomogo]

1 dislike? blasphemy! 

[Khultan]

GRAND, JUST GRAND. : )

[francescodisanfranci]

keepy it cool and smooth babies with Lord Buckley laying down his riffs like Bird Lord Buckley LIVES!!!!!!!

[JazzyJonas]

One person couldn't see through The Nazz's eyes.

[Onlymusical]

Climax starts at 7:45.

[babka22]

the NAZZarine, baby!

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

Nazz had them pretty eyes! He wanted everyone to see through his eyes so they could see how pretty it was!

[kosmopolitisch]

This awesome but it differs from Rap... it's an earlier form of spoken word... but most will compare it to rap out of lack of exposure...

[KingCrimson776]

Sounds like that haggler creature from Star Wars.

[leonidasleahy]

Would it embarrass you very much if I were to tell you that I love you?

Well, it's a kick anyway, isn't it? What a great thing it is to be alive!

Lord Buckley lives as long as The Nazz reverberates. Redig The Nazz!

[Harrylechat01]

OMG after 32 yhears I finally understand the song The Naz by The Word and now it's even better, this guy was a genius!

[Ngaroc]

Rap has nothing on this guy...

[lighthousewhistle]

SWINGIN'!!

[lastrada52]

If you love this stuff -- check Iceberg Slim. Same era, slightly different style. But all in that same realm. Both have gone to their rewards. Fathers of rap no doubt. "The jingle-jangle morning" line in "Mr Tambourine Man" was borrowed by Mr. Dylan from Mr. Buckley. Probably the only beat generation-hipster who could be aligned with the rap generation and slam poetry. Both men were Originals....capital O.

[babka22]

@lastrada52 Dylan stole from everyone

[mikey01852]

here com the Nazz...

[otaku1524]

Listening to this bit of vintage vinyl (thanks for the upload!) reminds me of when I first heard his splendid voice: when he was the voice of Go Man Van Gogh on Beany and Cecil. 'Come on Babies! Let's Go On Down The Road!"

[ZARBEE]

he was the the Nazz, with god given ass. he took it all to far but boy could he play guitar

[uk9jey]

[mynamesdan]

[fluff125]

The Nazz= Jesus of Nazareth

[justaman6972]

carzy coonass heroin junky funny dood!

[gotears2listen]

He influenced so many, but in particular his phrasing and low register stuff was enthusiastically adapted by Beefheart - Big Time i reckon!

[Liucilla]

Lord Buckley rules

[tyrannicoystercult]

if anyone knows the WWF's Ultimate Warrior, i'm sure he was diggin on this stuff with all his fast talk mind trip stuff, he's got little warriors floating in his veins. i love this beat imagination man, top notch.

When Lord Buckley laid it down, it stayed down!
