There is no other word for it but "Masterpiece!" Sadly, this is the only complete studio release from the late singer / guitarist / songwriter.
In a cruel twist of fate, Jeff's life ended at just age 30, only two years older than his folk/rock singing father, Tim, was when he died. Unlike his dad, it wasn't drugs that took him but the waters of Wolf River in Mississippi.
Both Buckleys had four to five octave voices and utilised every bit of their amazing abilities. Jeff however was also a brilliant guitarist, creating spacious, atmospheric sounds to accompany his incredible singing. When he recorded 'Grace' he wanted to create a variety of songs with different feelings for each. He succeeded and in doing so made one of the greatest debut albums of all time. There are powerful rock pieces (like the title track) stunning intricate arrangements, such as "Dream Brother" (about Tim) and breathtaking cover versions. (He borrowed Leonard Cohen's "Hallalujah" and made it his own - guaranteed to move every listener to their very soul).
