Jeff Buckley: An Incredible Talent We Lost Way Too Soon

Jeff Buckley was one of the most promising musicians of the 1990s. With his incredibly distinctive voice and exceptional guitar skills, the world was truly his oyster. Buckley's debut album Grace (1994), while not as appreciated back then, has since become a classic. The album contains many 90s rock staples including "So Real", "Lover, You Should've Come Over" and the gorgeous yet haunting cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

Tragically, at the peak of his creative genius, Jeff Buckley would pass away in 1997, leaving behind the incomplete follow-up to Grace. This second album, which was tentatively titled "My Sweetheart the Drunk", was released as a compilation in 1998. The title was changed to "Sketches For My Sweetheart the Drunk" for obvious reasons. What could have been Buckley's second masterpiece was unfortunately relegated to demos and tracks from the Tom Verlaine sessions that left him unsatisfied.

This is the story of Jeff Buckley. An insanely talented artist that died in the infancy of his career.
