Jeff Buckley will remain in my opinion one of the most talented, inspirational artists on par with the likes of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix.
His debut album in 1993, 'Grace', was a premonition of the talent this was would achieve later in his life. Full of melancholic, untamed symphonies like 'Mojo Pin' and 'Eternal Life' display beautiful qualities of his angelic 'choir boy' voice , crossed with the melodic calm rock sound. The title track 'Grace' is a master piece by any standard and I can never seem to grow tired of the album at all.
Tragically though, the Buckley's legacy was not to be fullfilled, as during the period he was recording for his second album 'My Sweetheart the Drunk', he died on May 29th 1997. In the early months of the next year, it was decided by his mother that the album should go ahead, using the pieces Jeff had wrote, although most unfinished, accompanied by later recording sessions with the band. The album 'Sketches for: My Sweetheart the Drunk', was released.
The people closest to Jeff described him as a musically ambitious man who loved life. Music for him was for pure joy, and

Listen to Tim Buckley as well, it runs in the family.
What really captures my attention when listening to him is the power of his voice... and the control he has over it. And of course, the great music to accompany it. :0)
