My Friday music will have to be unclogged tomorrow, because today, it's all Jeff.

I remember the first time I heard Hallelujah - spiritual indeed. Still trying to learn that secret chord that pleased the Lord.
chud: Wait a sec ... the CHUD? Here at RtN? Welcome, welcome, welcome. I too wish to know that mighty chord that Jeff and Leonard before him sang of so angelically.
Hello Sleek. I'm a great fan of Jeff and his music. It was a truly tragic end.
His dad Tim Buckley was great too, and was also cruelly cut off in his prime.
Jeff's "Live at Sine" mini-album is brilliant.
winters: Hello, mate. I like Tim as well, though I don't know his music nearly as well. I agree that Live at Sine is wonderful, and I'm listening to it now.
I remember reading when he drowned, I never gave his music a fare shake, Hallelujah...I love this song alone I will have to give the CD a listen.
josh: Please do! He's worth at the very least a fair shake, and at the very most, much more.
I just ordered a cd, not an hour ago...I liked what I heard. Thanks JW
Great music! It reallly is tragic that we have been denied his musical brilliance.
Carla: For sure. At least we got Grace and some other non-studio stuff, I suppose.
Ironically, my favorite song on Grace is Eternal Life. Very tragic indeed.
Welcome Chud!
I didn't realize his talents until just a few years ago. I am sad I haven't had more time to enjoy. A great musician indeed!
This sounds stoopid, but the first time I remember hearing "Hallelujah" was in "Shrek." I really, really liked that song.I just "You-tubed" JB's version and it is awesome. I will definitely be picking it up. Thanks for the downlow Sleek!
don't be ashamed getto, Shrek is the first place I heard it too and then i was reintroduced to it when I bought 'Grace'. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
zee: It's pretty crazy how much of the album in general seems to foreshadow his doom.
melissavina: I also discovered him posthumously, but I've certainly been a big fan ever since.
geto boy: Nothing stoopid there, pal -- so much music, so little time. Sometimes we just stumble on to it.
wildflower: Interestingly, the version in the movie was by John Cale (Velvet Underground), but the version on the soundtrack was by Rufus Wainwright. Not sure why they did that, but I actually like Rufus' version better. I've also heard Sheryl Crow do it, and I know Dylan and Bono have both covered it as well. I first heard the original, though, by Leonard Cohen.
Man, thats true. His only real radio/Mtv "hit" was Last Goodbye (a great song).
