Product Description
When Jeff Buckley drowned in Memphis in 1997 at the age of 30, the music world lost one of its most original and promising voices. His 1994 debut LP Grace showcased his soaring eight-octave vocal range and fluid guitar playing, and was hailed as an instant classic, winning him legions of devoted fans the world over. Photographer Merri Cyr was there from the beginning, shooting his album covers and accompanying him on tour, capturing priceless images of Buckley's boundless charisma and many-sided personality. Now she has assembled an unforgettable and poignant collection of recollections from friends and members of his inner circle and photographs, many never before seen, of an artist whose untimely death - and the timeless music he left behind - continue to resonate. Hardcover, 340 full-color photos. Merri Cyr is a photographer and video artist. She lives in Brooklyn. "A tremendous anthology ... ravishing portraits of a singular, much-missed singer." - Rolling Stone Play Jeff Buckley's songs with our Guitar Recorded Versions tab transcription book - 00690451.

The Phenominal Jeff Buckley Caught in Pictures
I bought this book when it first came out and I still pull it off the shelf and marvel at not only the care that was expressed when being put together but also the beauty of each photograph. This book wasn't released to exploit the fans of this tragic artist in order to make a quick buck but was a well thought out pictorial of his experiences with Merri Cyr. Although I didn't order this book through Amazon, I still felt the need to comment on it because it is a stirring pictorial of a life cut much too short.
i don't have it yet.
i would love to give u a good review but i do not have the product yet.
A must for any JB fan......
This book is artfully done--beautiful photographs of JB during his halcyon days in New York and on the road, captioned with interviews from friends/acquaintances who knew him best. Ms. Cyr is to be commended for having captured the spirit of this unique and beautiful person.
