It was the song 'Hallelujah' (a cover of a Leonard Cohen song / poem) that originally got me into Jeff Buckley. Since then, I have musically fallen in love with all of Jeff's music.

'Grace' was the only studio album brought out by Jeff himself, who was the only son of cult folk singer / songwriter Tim Buckley. Jeff was determined not to be simply a sum of all of his creative influences (including The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, and Nina Simone), but wanted to create his own unique style, and this breathtaking fusion is present on 'Grace'. From the moving 'Mojo Pin' to the emotion of 'Lilac Wine', and from the heartfelt sigh at the beginning of 'Hallelujah' to the philosophical questions of 'Eternal Life', the album is perfect.

Ten years and one day after the release of the original 'Grace', the re-mastered 10th anniversary edition was released, with better sound quality than the original, a second disk of various un-released studio songs (including the much hunted for 'Forget Her' and several covers such as Screamin' Jay's 'Alligator Wine') was released. In addition to this, there is a DVD with videos of some of the 'Grace' songs and a making-of for them as well.

I bought this album a couple of months ago. It is one of the only albums that I can listen to time and time again without getting bored and with the same passion that I felt when listening to it for the first time - it is simply inspiring. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who has any any passion for music

I'd like to hear his version of Lilac Wine - that's a lovely song. Lexy
