An untimely death often leans to glorification of an artist’s life. Suddenly, an under whelming or mediocre singer songwriter becomes a hugely important historical figure in music. It’s happened time and time again in every musical era.

Pros: probably everything Cons: nothing more from this artist...
It’s early. Outside, the first birds of the morning make sweet little chirping sounds. I lie in my bed, warm and cosy, unaware that it’s just about time for me to arise. The clock on my stereo clicks over to read 6:00am. And then it switches ...
Pros: Look up all of the terms synonymous with "beautiful" Cons: None
About five years ago after I had gotten into Elliott Smith, some guy mentioned that I should give Jeff Buckley a try as his music had the same kind of emotional output...although a bit more brazen. At first listen I didn't his music at all; Buckley's ...
Pros: Angelic voice, musically complex, lyrically poignant. This could've been the face of rock's future. Cons: Fate is a bastard thief for pulling him away.
Fasten your seat belts, folks. This is going to be a long one. There's a lot of intro before we actually get to Jeff. As many of you have probably learned, I have a writing style that sometimes rides the line between good taste and awful. I sometimes ...
Pros: Beauty. Cons: People who don't appreciate it.
When I was six years old, my parents were friends with a man who owned a dingy little music club called the Blue Note. The single notable thing about this club was the metal sculpture of a guitar out front--the owner was an art student. On weekends, we ...
Pros: Amazing vocal talent, wonderful melodies, complex and emotional lyrics, and I could go on... Cons: Are you kidding me?
Every once in a while, someone comes along in music whom you know is going to make a difference. This could easily be said of Jeff Buckley. Buckley appeared in the music scene in '91 and was quickly hailed by fans and critics alike to be one of ...
Pros: Passion, Desire, Transcendence Cons: The great man is dead, and there will be no more ...
I must admit that I came late to Jeff Buckley. I heard him for the first time in December 1997, after he had tragically drowned in Memphis. I was in my homeland of Australia for a seven-week visit after two and a half years away. A friend and I were on a...
Pros: Inspiring, reveals Buckleys one of a kind voice and has beautiful lyrical content Cons: Only full studio album released, saddened that there won't be a chance to top it.
As sad as it may seem usually following the untimely death of a musician, they're music profile rises whether their music is worthy of this status or not. Jeff Buckley is certainly an artist who deserves every piece of credit he gets. I have no doubt in ...
Pros: Brilliant song-writing married with a beautiful voice. Cons: Distortion on a few songs detracts from the whole.
So this is the first review I've written in about two years, but it seems fitting to me that my foray back in to Epinions would be a review of what, in my humble opinion, is one of the best albums of the 90's. In 1996, young singer/songwriter Jeff...
To me, 'Grace' is one of those albums that can stand the test of time. There is something to love in almost every single song on the album. Jeff Buckley had an amazing voice, ranging easily over 5 octaves, and he put his heart and soul into every song. ...
Pros: One of the most influential and greatest albums of the 90’s
Cons: The only complete album by the musical genius
As the ethereal cries of ‘Mojo Pin’ begin, you know you are listening to something truly unique. “Grace” is an eclectic but brilliant blending of several styles of music, ranging from hard rock, art rock, rock and roll, Indian infused music, Led...
Pros: Um.... everything. Cons: The fact he died before making another album.
It's been well over 10 years since this album was released, and it's better now than it was then. Every track on this album is near-classic, full of incredibly raw emotion and incredible songwriting. Buckley, the son of 60's-70's singer/songwriter Tim ...
Pros: beautifully dark and complex Cons: He'll never have a chance to top it
I will never forget that day. I was at home recovering from the last round of chemotherapy given to me to combat the cancer that was discovered the previous year. My "brush with death" was almost behind me, but my pastor's wife would succumb...
