Grace

Product Information

In the last 10 years I bought 3 different vinyl pressings (Sony legacy, music on vinyl, Columbia) of which all had their faults.

But this is one of those albums that was obviously mixed for CD and actually sounds better on CD since the original was quite dynamic. Yard of Blonde Girls,” written by a few of Buckley’s friends, is a grungy trifle that has him trying out his best Alice in Chains impression. Of course Dennis had a very long and successful career as a Beach Boy but his solo album Pacific Ocean Blue is amazing and then he drowned while working on his second solo effort.

Producer Andy Wallace speaks on the documentary about his concerns over how much of the record should reflect Buckley's solo performances, but true to form, the singer wanted it all. Such what-ifs are inevitable when an artist dies too soon, but fruitless daydreaming is especially tantalizing when it comes to Buckley. Either way, there’s no getting around the fact that Buckley did not want any of the recordings on Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk to be heard.

The song had the potential to encapsulate all sides of Buckley’s persona—the weirdo, the hopeless lover, the charming clown—into something that could pump both hearts and bodies. the only possible listening pleasure was combining the passages that got done well of each different pressing. Such fluidity would be unique in any era, but especially in the early ’90s, when the internet had yet to fully flatten barriers between styles, Buckley’s musical interests were freakishly broad.The most beautiful moments occur when Buckley lets himself be beautiful, something he was loathe to do after his high cheekbones, intense stare, and luscious vocals turned him into alt idol following the release of Grace. Forget Her" was also pressed on blue-colored 7" vinyl and issued with the 2004 vinyl LP reissue of Grace. His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. This album comes with an insert sheet; one side black/white picture of Jeff Buckley with others - other side with track list and credits.

sounds fantastic - especially when you consider there is over 25 mins of music per side here, and some people will tell you that you can't put that much on vinyl without compromising the sound. It has a little bit of an edginess to the sound, which may or may not be pleasing to you, but that was smoothed out a little on the ORG, which sounds better to my ears.

As in any important drama, the stakes were always high in Jeff Buckley songs—he fashioned himself a poet, a seer, a gothic diva. The song was subsequently included as a bonus track on several European editions of the standard album. Considering the proliferation of smartphones in the last 20 years—and the untruths and addictions that have come with them—it’s easy to see the warning as wisdom. But Buckley’s label, the Sony-owned Columbia, home to legends like Dylan and Springsteen, put a ton of money into the project nonetheless, sending the singer around the globe with his band on tour to help kick off what they hoped to be a decades-long career. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene.
