Jeff Buckley
Grace
'Grace' is simply an amazing album He inherited the voice of his father the legendary Tim Buckley seven octaves each of them only just enough to cram his big feverish dreams into but his music was all his own Think Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks' on drugs but then drugs could give some kind of comfort and there's no comfort in 'Grace' just constant flux between crippling despair and an almost violent joy When 'Last Goodbye' unfolds it's third different middleeight of Bollywood strings and Buckley's ecstatic scatting it's hard to believe an ordinary human could have had a hand in something so extraordinary
