A coffeehouse chanteur, who made a name for himself covering Edith Piaf and Judy Garland in a tiny candlelit venue on the Lower East side of Manhattan, Jeff Buckley was signed by Columbia Records. Columbia thought of him from the beginning as the next of what they would call their "heritage" artists. They hoped he would become their next Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen... Buckley seemed on his way to fulfilling that promise with Grace, the only finished full-length studio album of his career. Critics raved and his fan base grew, but as he was set to record his second studio album, a tragic accident ended Buckley's life. He was 30 years old. Impossible to classify, Jeff Buckley's four-octave voice and songs of unchecked passion and pain traverse the worlds of rock, soul, blues, gospel, folk, and torch. Though Jeff exploded onto the music scene in Europe and Australia, giving rise to a rabid cult following in the states, he never broke through American commercial radio - then dominated by Seattle grunge. Some say America just wasn't ready for Jeff Buckley. |
