Blue Afternoon is the fourth studio album by Tim Buckley, released in November 1969. It is Tim Buckley's first self-produced record and his debut for Herb Cohen and Frank Zappa's label Straight Records. The album used the same group of musicians as Happy Sad (1969) with the addition of drummer Jimmy Madison. It presaged Buckley's most experimental work on his subsequent two albums.
