UConn James Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 One good album? "Sketches" certainly is not bad considering most of it was recorded in the time JB was given to do 2 Songs with his new Producer...And he was already branching WAY out for a 2nd studio recording IMHO... Remember too, JB recorded almost everything "Live" including the main vocal track...I mean, he was just getting started so we'll never really know what he was capable of...But what he did in a short time was pretty darn good... You're 100% correct about the Chicks and Buckley...My current GF was choking back tears the 1st time I played her "Lover, You Should've Come Over..." It's no coincidence what happened after that! My best seduction tool...Jeff Buckley music! B) 132505[/snapback] And that new producer, Tom Verlaine, was craptacular. He was planning to ceremonially erase all of those tracks with his band and have the producer from "Grace" come down to Memphis. They arrived later in the night when he drowned. He never intended to have the tracks on Sketches actually released. I haven't yet gotten it and don't know if I will. (I have downloaded "Satisfied Mind" tho. Very poignant.) I enjoy JB'S live-ness compared to most of today's stuff. It's all over his music. I dare everyone to try singing along and see how tired your jaw is, and how you're sucking wind after just singing his title track! (BTW, he carries that "Hallelujah" note for just about a minute and a half over three octaves, IIRC. The recorded version of the song was done in one take.) That he did entire shows of this is amazing. And yeah, the chicks dig JB. . I actually remember in high school, and this is before I first heard him, the absolute hottest chick in the world who I deigned to eat lunch with in junior year spent the hour crying at about the same time. She's now a music education major and playing D-I soccer somewhere.... Wow. Those are some good memories. Sorry if I'm rambling about it, I just enjoy the music and don't get the chance to discuss it with like-minded people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 yeah my bad, 2 awesome albums! Not to be picky, but Supper's Ready was on Foxtrot, not Nursery Crime. Nursery Crime had the Musical Box 131621[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 For the Jeff Buckley fans, there is an excellent album from Buffalo's own Willie Nile called Beautiful Wreck Of The World. One of the best songs on the album is On The Road To Calvary (For Jeff Buckley). Check it out if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I keep on fighting for the things I want because I know that when you're dead you can't I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living like a butler or a slave As sure as the sun do shine I'm gonna get my share of what is mine The harder they come the harder they fall one and all" Absoulutely timeless song...incidently, any you Stones fans out there ever here Keith Richards sing this tune? Flip side of his X-mas single "Run Rudolph Run"...KEEF!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to hear from fellow Buckley Fans right here on TSW...When I get into these Buckley or AIC conversations it's like the best of both worlds. The Bills and my favorite music combined! Don't get any better than that! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
