 Good music Sep 12, 2009
I originally bought this CD for the song Hallelujah, that was on the final episode of ER. I found that so many of the other tracks were easy to listen to and I enjoyed the entire CD. Funny that I never heard of this singer/song writter before.
 Instant favorite! It'll be in the c/d player for weeks! Aug 10, 2009
easily the best Buckley album I've heard. His last, sadly, is on its way though and I hear that its a pretty good one!

 new to jeff buckley Jan 21, 2009
I bought the album for the song hallelujah since I heard it on Sopranos and I didn't know who sang it but it stayed in my mind. When I heard Xfactor winner had recorded it I thought another great song ruined as I'm not into the over dramatic singers they churn out every season. I can't bothered to watch plastic pop. I have listened to the cd a few times but I find it a bit gloomy, although he has a good voice and the music is great I'm taking my time to warm to it. But I love music and wont dismiss it. I love to listen to talented people and he was very talented, my advice, never listen to it if you are dpressed cos he won't cheer you up!
never ends Jan 03, 2009
This was the first album of Jeff's that I listened to (last September) and it was as though I had always been waiting to hear his voice and the uniqueness of his songwriting. A month later I bought the Grace legacy album and was profoundly moved by everything on it, especially delighted with the original versions of some tracks that I had only heard as the alternates (eg Mojo Pin, So Real, Eternal Life). I know there has been some caution issued to Jeff Buckley fans not to make this their first album but I disagree. If you are reday and receptive these songs will deeply thrill you. But please go on and explore his other material. The surprises and the wonder never end.
This Introduction to Jeff Buckley Lives Up to the Album Title: So Real. Aug 03, 2008
Bob Dylan has described Jeff Buckley as "one of the great songwriters" of our time. Jimmy Page considers Grace one of his favorite albums. This 2007 "best of" compilation album not only offers a good introduction to those new to the music of compelling singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley (1966-1997), but the album also offers a few interesting surprises for Buckley's cult following. Of course all the Buckley studio standards from Grace and Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk) are here: "Mojo Pin," "Grace," Cohen's "Hallelujah," and "Je n'en connais pas la fin," together with tracks from his live album, Live at Sin-é. The album also features an alternate take of "Dream Brother," a road version of "Eternal Life" (both from the Grace Legacy Edition) and a live acoustic rendition of "So Real." The album offers a previously unavailable live cover of "I Know It's Over" from The Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead. As this album title suggests and as the songs collected here reveal, the music of Jeff Buckley is best described as authentic. Complete album tracks include:
1. Last Goodbye
2. Lover, You Should've Come Over
3. Forget Her
4. Eternal Life
5. Dream Brother
6. The Sky Is A Landfill
7. Everybody Here Wants You
8. So Real
9. Mojo Pin
10. Vancouver
11. Je n'en Connais Pas La Fin
12. Grace
13. Hallelujah
14. I Know It's Over
