November 17th marks the anniversary of what would have been Jeff Buckley’s 42nd birthday.
Do yourself a favor and listen to some Jeff today.
May I suggest his Live at Sin-e album.
If you don’t have that, listen to his version of the Leonard Cohen classic “Hallelujah”.
Pure Bliss.
Anyway,… Jeff Buckley is my Elvis.
“…and what do I want people to get from the music?
Whatever they want, you know…whatever you like.”
see now i never heard this guy until a couple years ago i was at my friend’s place and he put on the “Grace” album and it was really really good stuff, that’s fer sure. But i’ll be damned i never got around to burning it off him and now nobody i know seems to know anything about the guy.
So happy birthday, Jeff. Another one that died way too young.
P.S. can anybody hook me up with that album somehow?
People actually like Jeff Buckley? You know there has been music made since the '90’s.
I’m just fucking around Brian…
Tim Buckley is better though.
I can do that for ya. PM me your street address.
Everybody should check out his ‘unfinished’ second album, ‘Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk.’ It shows interesting development and change from ‘Grace.’
