Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Here's what they say about Jeff Buckley: "He died too young". Here's why they say it: Grace is simply one of the most amazing things you can do with your ears and a little digitally-encoded disc. He inherited the voice of his father, the legendary Tim Buckley--seven octaves, each of them only just enough to cram his big feverish dreams into--but his music was all his own. Think Van Morrison's Astral Weeks on drugs--but then drugs could give some kind of comfort, and there's no comfort in Grace; just constant flux between crippling despair and an almost violent joy. When "Last Goodbye" unfolds it's third different middle-eight of Bollywood strings and Buckley's ecstatic scatting, it's hard to believe an ordinary human could have had a hand in something so extraordinary. --Caitlin Moran


CD Description

With GRACE, his first full-length statement as a bandleader, songwriter/guitarist Jeff Buckley sets out upon a road less travelled, avoiding the safe and predictable in favor of the ecstatic and the personal.
Not that such obvious influences as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin have disappeared fromthis young talent's music. Buckley's voice is an exquisite,malleable instrument, and from his daring vaults into the upper registers to his long, enraptured middle-register ornaments and moans, he suggests the breakthroughs of a young Robert Plant or Van Morrison.
Songs like "The Last Goodbye" (with its coy slide intro and ragaish string backgrounds) and "Lover, You Should've Come Over" (with its late Beatles harmonies and Edith Piaf vocal ornaments) are powerful evocations of failing relationships ("too young to hold on, and tooold to just break free and run"). "Lilac Wine" and "Hallelujah" feature his glassy, translucent guitar and poignant vocals in mystical, folkish settings, while "Dream Brother" achieves an almost Doors-like melancholy. Elsewhere, Buckley showcases his new band's power on "Mojo Pin" and "Eternal Life", which draw upon blues imagery and metaphors to create a subtle, hard-rocking atmosphere.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thing I have ever heard, 11 Feb 2006
I first heard the single Grace on XFM a couple of years ago, but it took some time to track down as I never heard the artists name.
When I finally bought it, I couldn't belive that I had not heard of him earlier. This album is amazing & that is no exaggeration! Every track is fantastic & so emotional. I could go on but it is something you need to find out for yourself. I am stunned at the amount of people I speak to that are fans of his music.
I wish that I had heard this earlier but am glad that I found it. Definitly an album that I will continue to listen to & love.

5.0 out of 5 stars JB's Amazing Grace, 28 Jan 2006
His music encourages us to do something with our creative potential and not allow the dictates of money; ego and society take away our dreams. His songs are raw, unresolved and painfully vulnerable, so unlike the guarded, politically and socially correct words of most performers today whom we mistakenly aspire to be. There is no safety net here, be prepared to get your heart luminously ripped out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Genius, 19 Jul 2006
By E. Mackenzie "K. MacKenzie" (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is a must for all those who appreciate good music and genuine talent. Despite having it in his genes, Jeff was more or less a self-taught who experimented and enjoyed many types of music, and it is evident in this album from the heavy rock tones of 'Eternal Life' to a cover of Britten's Corpus Christi Carol. Indeed I think Buckley acheived with Coen's 'Halleluiah' what Hendrix did with 'All along the Watchtower' i.e totally superseded the original.

The music is the type of music that the more you listen to it the more you discover the various 'layers' in each song - the composition and arrangement of each song is amazing. Jeff have diffrent textures and tones to his voice too, which make each song - especially Grace - a vocal journey, no one I can think of - even the likes of Bono could compete with the various tones and textures in Jeff's voice. Jeff's voice is unique.

It must be remembered that this album was recorded during the 'Grunge years' of the early 1990's initally critics were disappointed with Jeff's album because he did not follow the Nirvana tend. I am glad he didn't - instead he gave us one of the most important albums of the 1990's.

It is often said that the likes of Coldplay and Keane owe a lot to Buckley, but in truth Buckley despite his death and the album being released over 12 years ago is still the grand master, and in lots of respects his work is even ahead of many talented artists today. A unique talent who had so much more to give...I put him up there with the likes of Dylan and Lennon. His influence on music will be felt for many decades to come.
