Grace at Twenty-Six: The Essential Jeff Buckley Playlist
___________
LOADS of classic albums…
are celebrating big anniversaries this year and, whilst Jeff Buckley’s Grace is twenty-six today (23rd August), I think it is an album that keeps on giving, in the way that it is inspiring artists all around the world. Buckley tragically died on 29th May, 1997 aged only thirty but, in his short life, he definitely put his name in the history books! Nobody possessed a voice like his and, twenty-three years since his death, I can detect his D.N.A. in many artists. Some people might not be aware of his recordings outside of his sole studio album, Grace, so I was keen to include more of his music here – including tracks released on the posthumous album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk and a good selection of live tracks. If you are new to Jeff Buckley, then I hope you get something from the playlist but, even if you are already a fan, what better way to spend some time today and…
