Jeff Buckley released only one full length album before his tragic death at 29 years old in 1997. Though recognized mainly for his illustrious cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, the critically acclaimed ‘94 album Grace exhibits a wide range of musical influences and an inconceivable talent for melody. He was, without a doubt, the most moving performer of his time, a fact supported by fans Jimmy Page, Ben Harper, and countless other icons. His music exudes passion and wisdom well beyond his years, heightened by nostalgic rock tones and haunting vocals which would famously be referred to as “wailing Buckleys.” If you don’t already swoon over the Buckley name, you have some inquiring to do.
