I had never heard of Jeff Buckley, but my husband picked up Grace a little while back...around the same time that I picked up kd lang's Hymn's of the 49th Parallel. Each CD contains a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and we had fun comparing them (I preferred kd's version, hubby preferred Buckley's version).

Anyway, today I was looking for something new to listen to and I pulled Grace off of the shelf. I hadn't ever heard anything other than Hallelujah off of it. What an outstanding disk this is! I'm only halfway through it and am completely enamoured by the song structure, the eclecticism, the melodies and Buckley's voice. The recording quality of this disk is excellent also. I can see that this will be in regular rotation for a while.

I'll have to pick up Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. Now that I've finally discovered him, what a shame that I can't look forward to anything new by him.
