His band deserves props - rhythm section. Great review guys. I actually visited Memphis in 2008 and checked out the area where he drowned in Memphis Harbor. It looked innocuous enough but I remember seeing a piece of garbage slowly floating by and thinking that I wouldn't want to even put my toe in that body of water
You could tell that he could've been one of the most promising figures in 90s music and more. Quite tragic that he died so suddenly, but then again, it's amazing of how much recognition he received afterwards and today, he is hailed as a foundation for many songwriters and singers with higher registered voices and the ones who don't see many barriers for their musical pallet. For me, "Grace" (with or without "Forget Her" as an additional track) is many things: Celestial singing, great covers, great self-written songs, a combination of various genres and artist's influences that I learned to love until this album. Even the average length of the individual songs isn't off-putting as many of it stays interesting even though not everything resonates with me in and out. Jeff Buckley made one of those timeless records that could be made now and it would feel still fresh.
