It was hard to imagine at the time of his untimely death in 1997 at age 30, but Jeff Buckley ended up one of the decade's most influential singer-songwriters. Buckley's posthumous legend was built on precious little more than his debut album, Grace, and the tracks he was working on at the time of his death, which makes this collection of five rare, mostly promo-only foreign EPs a welcome addition to his legacy. The two and a half hours of music here spans the three years before he died, a period when his muse--as boldly ambitious as it was haunting and mercurial--was coming into sharp focus. Buckley fans and collectors should welcome the two live shows excerpted here (So Real's February ‘95 Rotterdam gig, the Paris shows from later in the year on Live from the Bataclan, and three ‘96 Australian cuts), but will also delight in the set's rare covers: a live take of Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do," Hank Williams's "Lost Highway," and a frenetic and hypnotic 14-minute-plus work-up of Alex Chilton's droning "Kanga-Roo." The set's bonus unreleased track is the 11-minute "Tongue," an eerie, evocative instrumental improvisation captured during rehearsals for the Grace sessions. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

incredible,
I don't know what to write in order to explain the captivating, passionate music this disc contains. Through listening to this disc one can hear the great and amazing talent Jeff Buckley possessed. I highly recommend this disc and highly recommend listning to Jeff Buckley's music.

Great Compliments to an already brilliant experience.
jeff Buckley was a brilliant man. He was passionate, spellbinding and talented beyond bounds. Grace is one of the very best albums I've ever heard. Incredible. These tracks shed a live or demo version of the mastered songs off of grace. they sound awesome. Live presence almost gives it a different feel. Brilliant. This is an essentail for any fan, rabid or casual.

New facets to Grace
If you've never heard Jeff Buckley this is a good place to start. If you think you've heard these songs before, know that each and every performance that Jeff gave was a new reading loaded with passion and rich drama. His brilliant vocals and musicianship make songs sparkle and shine in a new way each time.
Whether he's doing originals or covers Buckley inhabits the material completely. If you've heard "Hallelujah" you understand his talent for making everything he touched blossom and shimmer with his earnestness.
Spend some time listening to Buckley's tranced-out exorcism of Alex Chilton's "Kangaroo". Go with him and let him show you the power of pleasurable obsession.
The performance at the Bataclan was magical. The French adored him, and rightly so. Let him touch you too.
