Thousand Roads, A - Lisa Gerrard & Jeff Rona

Advantages: Jeff Buckley, Live, Godly, Music
Disadvantages: Short

...other be struck in awe at his versatile voice.10/10 Last goodbye, This is an angrier sounding version of his Grace classic, the anger in the music (although not his voice as such) lets the song seem to over-come it's own emotional stale mate as a longing fellow saying goodbye to his former love. 9/10 Eternal life, This is actually more like the later revised "Road version" (from grace's 10th anniversary box set). Jeff's voice is sounding so angry, you can almost touch the angst coming off every note he sings. His angst aimed at the music industry for their crusiade against on stage Jamming (as was seen in early versions of "Kanga-roo")/ 10/10 Grace, A more weeping version than the original as Jeff sings about longing for death. The notes of the guitar and Jeff's voice fit in almost a sychnosised fashion to allow us to hear such... Read review

Advantages: Jeff Buckley's amazing voice, and talent
Disadvantages: Very few

...Jeff Buckley was a wonderful song writer and musician, with possibly the best voice that has existed in the world of music! An extremely skilled man, especially with the ability at singing in both falsetto and his normal singing range, in order to give himself a huge range of notes that he is able to use in his music! I've never heard a man with such a beautiful voice. Jeff Buckley's only full studio album made before his death, "Grace", includes songs that Buckley has covered, but also his own songs. The album demonstrates both his amazing song writing ability, and also the skill he had in order to make a song his own, and to put his own stamp on that song! Buckley covers 3 song on the album to make them sound completely different, and I feel that he does this extremely successfully. Both Buckley's songs, and the ones that he has... Read review

Advantages: vibrant, exciting, interesting, with a whole range of songs
Disadvantages: none, except that it's on a disc, and never will be truly live again

...Jeff Buckley died a few years ago, in May 1997. The only full album released before his death was Grace, and that was a supreme introduction to him. His voice was magical, very special; he could reach all notes and when he sang, he carried a personality to be proud of. He was a dare-devil, a practical joker, and unfortunately this led to his death when he drowned in a tragic accident in Memphis. Since then his mother, Mary Guibert, and the members of his band, Michael Tighe, Matt Johnson and Mick Grondhahl, have released works by Jeff, so that he may live on after his death. The album he was working on at the time of his death was My Sweetheart The Drunk, and this was released as a 'Sketches for' album, containing mostly Jeff on his own, practising and trying out new methods. Mystery White boy was released this year, and it... Read review
