Jeff Buckley - Grace

Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time — rated 304/500

"During his famed early gigs at the New York club Sin-é, Buckley used to break hearts with his version of this Cohen prayer. Buckley called it a homage to 'the hallelujah of the orgasm' and had misgivings about his sensuous rendition: 'I hope Leonard doesn't hear it.' On his posthumous live album Mystery White Boy, Buckley turns 'Hallelujah' into a medley with the Smiths' 'I Know It's Over.'" - Rolling Stone

Grace is the only complete studio album by Buckley, originally released on August 23, 1994. After his death in 1997, the album grew to be one of the most important album's of the '90s. The album was produced by Andy Wallace who had mixed Nirvana's album Nevermind.

In addition to seven original songs, the album included three covers: "Lilac Wine", based on the version by Nina Simone, "Corpus Christi Carol," from Benjamin Britten's A Boy Was Born and Cohen's "Hallelujah."

Hallelujah! posted on 07/04/2021 5 Stars Reviewer: Tony This is a great sounding LP! Very well mastered and pressed. Very quiet, no pops or clicks. Dynamic and engaging. I just discovered Jeff Buckley. What an amazing talent! Very sad that his life was cut short. May he rest in peace. Highly recommended! Hallelujah!!! Amen

Outstanding posted on 02/17/2020 5 Stars If you are choosing between this and the 45 rpm version just get this one. Flat, centered, quiet, and absolutely astonishing dynamics. Im pretty familiar with the material and I cant imagine it sounding much better!

Grace posted on 11/29/2011 5 Stars I am a big fan of this album and this copy sounds amazing. I agree about some pops and ticks, but the voice just comes through and the overall sound is fantastic.

Maybe 4-1/2 Stars posted on 05/19/2011 4 Stars Reviewer: audiofan This gorgeously performed, produced, and recorded album is a testament to the talent lost in Jeff Buckley. This pressing, or my copy, was quiet, but nonetheless held a few stubborn ticks and pops that refuse to let go...not enough to ruin the experience, mind you, but just enough to remind you, every other song or so, that you're listening to vinyl. Sure I'd like a "perfect" copy - that would make it "5-stars" with ease - but the sonic's overall warmth overshadows the small imperfections and I'm too busy enjoying the music.
