By the early 1970s, the surreal adventurism of albums such as Lorca and Starsailor began to threaten Tim Buckley's commercial survival. Honeyman, the third of Buckley's posthumously released live albums, bridges the gap between the patchy penultimate album and his frenetic live persona. Originally broadcast live on New York's WLR radio station in 1973, Honeyman is the least remarkable of the live trilogy, reaffirming 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 still don't represent his best work. As ever, the best live Buckley material dates back to the '60s. However, Happy Sad's "Buzzin'Fly" and Goodbye & Hello's "Pleasant Street" strut much more beautifully on Dream Letter: Live in London.
