Lost in the 90’s: Jeff Buckley’s “Grace”
Posted by philmeagher on February 2, 2008
Rock fans today must live off a steady diet of the 90’s.
When Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic has lost it’s buzz, when Cake’s Nugget begins to irritate you because that, as long as your Pearl Jam records and 90’s rock radio-single collection needs a break, try Jeff Buckley.
Today Jeff Buckley is a true hidden treasure—overlooked after a sudden death that ended his career before it could begin.
Buckley performs the soul of 90’s rock. He is the melodic-grunge in Nirvana, the vocal talent of Bob Dylan, the innovative electric guitar that is Eddie Vedder. He is the next step in your career as a listener. He will hold your attention.
Grace, Buckley’s first and only studio album, is the next and perhaps final album for your essentials collection.
Discover “Grace,” Buckley’s first hit, and “Lover, You Should of Come Over”—two songs, two very-different moods, to make the 90’s plaid-shirted, long-haired, rock-enthusiast within you twist and sing out loud.
Listen to two of his songs on YouTube below.
“Lover, You Should of Come Over”
Read about him here in Rolling Stone, which nominated him as artist of the year in 1995

Jeff Buckley is great, and I agree he is overlooked, its too bad he isn’t around to make more albums like Grace. Everyone should give it a try, flannel is needed though.
