A 60's post-Dylan folk singer with an amazing voice, inactive since his 1975 heroin OD. "Song to the Siren" was revived via a Cocteau Twins rendition on a This Mortal Coil LP, but only people like Diamanda Galas and Mike Patton have fully grokked the Starsailor Tim -- stream-of-consciousness and as unpredictable as the first-take free jazz noodling of the backing band, which included some Mothers. Father of the equally-dead Jeff.
