Includes a secret code to access live footage on the internet. Recorded live at Olympia, Paris, France on July 6, 1995. Includes liner notes by J. D. Beauvalet. Partially due to the increased rate of cultural dissemination in the ... Full Descriptioninformation age, Jeff Buckley's posthumous releases nearly caught up with those of his '60s-icon father Tim by the beginning of the 21st century. The elder Buckley had more time to grow stylistically, lending his various posthumous live albums a diversity and air of discovery Jeff's concert recordings never had a shot at. Nevertheless, every Jeff Buckley concert was an event, and his muse was so mercurial that no two of his performances were remotely alike. Thus, amid staples from GRACE such as the fragile Leonard Cohen ballad "Hallelujah" and the raga-rock "Dream Brother," there are some surprises. The previously unheard "That's All I Ask" has a loose, wandering feel that makes it seem spontaneously created. The brief lampoon of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" does not obscure Buckley's obvious debt to that band (and that song). A turbo-charged "Eternal Life" echoes Buckley's love of the MC5, more explicitly evidenced by the following song, an unfettered cover of that group's classic "Kick out the Jams." The French audience is so taken with Buckley's swooning rendition of the Edith Piaf ballad "Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin" that he interrupts himself mid-croon to clown around with them. From ferocious rockers to pin-droppers like the Piaf song, Buckley's unearthly voice is a remarkable instrument constantly giving birth to excitement and surprise. There's no better way to experience those feelings than in a live setting, and for most Buckley fans, this is unfortunately about as close as they'll ever come to that.

专辑介绍： 虽然他已经离我们而去8年之久，虽然他一生只有一张真正意义上的录音室专辑——[Grace]。 但是他的名字——Jeff Buckley，却一直没有被我们遗忘。 Buckley出生于美国南部加州 五岁那年，他发现了祖母的一把吉他就开始自学。 17岁时Buckley离家完成了中学学业就开始在Hollywood发展。他参加过一些摇滚和雷吉乐队，也散发了一些录音作品以挣些小钱。 1990年Buckley搬到了纽约，和当地一些乐队一起表演，随后就开始创造自己的作品。据Buckley自己说，纽约的Lower East Side比其它地方更让他感到自在，虽然根在加州，但他却在加州找不着自己的位置。 但谁也没想到，1997年春天时Buckley在孟菲斯灌录一张新专辑，在密西西比河中一次游泳时不幸溺亡。 Buckley的作品中最漂亮最有表达力的有三样东西：嗓音，吉他，歌词。很少摇滚男歌手有Buckley一样丝般滑流的嗓音。当他高声部的假音发挥时，你分明可以感到心中的那种刺痛感。Buckley的清吟浅唱却是无邪的，充份暴露他内心易受伤害的敏感。敏感不是怯懦，所以他可以大胆的在自我的感知世界里自由驰 骋，接受神秘未知力量的诱惑，把内心的爱，纠突和疏离感直呈给他人。 Buckley的歌词精确的记录了许多精神河流的流淌状态，或静谧或湍急。闭上眼睛，让人不由地想起原本清澈的小溪，在月色朦胧下却发散着勾引的气息，你会极度的想要浮在水面，让躯体放松，而思绪却心甘情愿任他的嗓音指引，慢悠悠地晃出身躯，麻弊在空灵而恍惚的快感中。还有歌中的吉他，时而平稳时而狂暴，可是如果你能将Buckley的嗓音想成一件乐器，就会发现在歌声的中和下，两种极端出奇的和谐----平静中孕育着爆发，渲泄中预示着镇静 EP版本

在1997年5月29日Jeff Buckley去世前他已经开始与Tom Verlaine(前Telev ision成员)一同进行新专辑的录制工作，当然，因Jeff的意外去世而没能完成。 1998年，Sony公司整理Jeff Buckley的遗作推出了名为《Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk》的2CD新专辑，其中Disc Two当中有6首歌是Jeff在1997 年春天在孟菲斯用4轨机录制的Demo作品。毫无疑问，这套唱片是弥足珍贵的。它的整理出版，对所有喜欢Jeff B uckley音乐的人们(也许我们这儿还很少很少)来说无疑是莫大的慰藉了。 Disc One和Disc Two各有10首歌均由Jeff Buckley自己创作，自创性明显高于《C race》。 Disc One中所有歌曲都是由Tom Verlaine制作的。开首的“The Sky Is A La ndfill”兼有Led Zeppelin和Grunge风格。Jeff Buckley唱得非常地投入，在厚重的伴奏织体的烘托和压迫下，浓重的哀怨而又充满悲愤的情绪有点令人窒息。 “Everybody Here Wants You”让人慢慢回过神来。这首R＆B风格的曲子是这套2CD 专辑中最易被一般听者接受的曲子。这类风格的曲子是《Grace》所没有的。 “Opend Once”是Disc One当中我个人最喜爱的一首曲子，伴奏简单得令人难忘，特别是吉他的拨奏，那琴弦象是张在你心头似的，静静的每一下都会令你震颤。

1995 EP featuring four live tracks, 'Dream Brother' and covers of Van Morrison's 'The Way Young Lovers Do', Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' and a medley with Edith Piaf's 'Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin' & 'Hymne A L'Amour'. All four songs were recorded in concert at the Bataclan in Paris, France on February 11th, 1995. Standard jewel case.

Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music: Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz. At his best -- the soaring title track, "Last Goodbye," and the mournful "Lover, You Should've Come Over" -- Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst, Grace is merely promising.
