Masterful Debut on 180g Vinyl LP!
Featuring "Last Goodbye" & a Classic Cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 147/500!
Jeff Buckley's Grace is a masterpiece. The critically acclaimed 1994 breakthrough is filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself.
On extended slow-burning ballads like 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' and his cover of 'Hallelujah,' Buckley used unrestrained amounts of falsetto and vibrato to create an unearthly longing. His music had a smattering of grunge, a plateful of Led Zeppelin III (check the fierce rocker 'Eternal Life'), and an opulent sense of tragedy. Grace is the only album Buckley released in his lifetime; he died in 1997 after going for a swim in a Memphis river known for its unpredictable currents. -Rolling Stone Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music: Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz. At his best - the soaring title track, 'Last Goodbye,' and the mournful 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' - Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst, Grace is merely promising. -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Features 180g Vinyl Original Artwork Insert Made in the EU Selections Side One: Mojo Pin Grace Last Goodbye Lilac Wine So Real Side Two: Hallelujah Lover, You Should've Come Over Corpus Christi Carol Eternal Life Dream Brother
