For a talent that left us all too soon and gifted us only one album during his lifetime, a huge amount has been (deservedly) written and expounded upon the life and music of Jeff Buckley. <\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s about the relationship he didn\u2019t have with his estranged father \u2013 Jeff was eight yers old when Tim Buckley died \u2013 the power of his voice and music or his own tragic departure. There\u2019s enough information out there that I don\u2019t need to add to anything here. There\u2019s even a new documentary \u201cIt\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley\u201d as interest in the musician \u2013 who has been gone for nearly 30 years \u2013 continues to grow as more discovery his legacy. So let\u2019s tackle it a bit more from a personal level. <\/p>\n
I bought Grace<\/em> out of pure curiosity in after reading a review for Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk<\/em> \u2013 the posthumous release of material that Jeff had been excitedly working on for his second album, to be titled My Sweetheart the Drunk<\/em>. This being \u201998 there was no way to preview albums on Spotify first so it was a gamble, one that paid off massively as Grace <\/em>remains one of my favourite albums. Having recently been absorbed again in the Live at Sin-e <\/em>box, I thought it a good opportunity to throw down Five of my favourite songs from Mr Buckley\u2019s catalogue but, rather than those I\u2019ve already posted and would normally be played wherever good music graces airwaves and screens, I thought I\u2019d take us a bit beyond the obvious\u2026.<\/p>\n Lover, You Should Have Come Over<\/strong><\/p>\n
