I just discovered this blog today and have been pouring through past posts. There is great stuff here, especially all the Jeff Buckley songs and essays. I’m not sure if you’re heard him yet or if someone else has mentioned him to you, but you might really enjoy Bon Iver (http://www.myspace.com/boniver). He’s folksy but has some soul, it’s all I’ve been listening to the last couple days.
Thanks!
Max

The Bob Dylan song “Mississippi” off his 2001 record Love and Theft is about Buckly.

Also, soul singer John Legend wrote a song about him but i cant remember the name

Beautiful tribute! Almost cried a little here… (A bit too sentimental.) Jeff Buckley’s songs mean so much to me. My stomach seemed to jump when I read that Chris Cornell’s “Wave goodbye” actually was a tribute to Jeff. The two of them are my absolute favorite artists.

Hi there
Don’t u think this song of Rebecca’s is more obviously inspired by Jeff’s passing?

Not all were fans of Buckley’s. The arguably greatest living music critic Robert Christgau wrote this review of ‘Grace’ in his monthly column:

Grace [Columbia, 1994]
Although Tim’s vocal traces are in his genes as surely as John’s are in Julian’s, it’s wrong to peg him as the unwelcome ghost of his overwrought dad. Young Jeff is a syncretic asshole, beholden to Zeppelin and Nina Simone and Chris Whitley and the Cocteau Twins and his mama–your mama too if you don’t watch out. “Sensitivity isn’t being wimpy,” he avers. “It’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” So let us pray the force of hype blows him all the way to Uranus.
