Since he was the word of fad songster Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley faced more expectations and preconceived notions than most singer/songwriters. Perhaps it wasn't surprising that Jeff Buckley's music was related to his father's by only the thinnest of margins. Buckley's voice was grand and wholesale, which fit with the mock-operatic splendor of his Van Morrison-meets-Led Zeppelin music.
Buckley began playing piece in high school. Eventually, he moved to Los Angeles to study music; piece he was there, he performed with several jazz and casimir Funk bands, as comfortably as playing with Shinehead, a loss leader in the dancehall reggae movement. A few geezerhood later, he stirred to New York, forming Gods & Monsters with the experimental guitarist Gary Lucas. The band became a pelvis name, so far their life was short. Buckley began a solo career playing clubs and coffeehouses, building up a considerable following. Soon, he gestural a record carry on with Columbia Records, cathartic the Live at Sin-e EP in November of 1993. It received dear reviews, heretofore they didn't compare to the raves Buckley's full-length debut, 1994's Good will, standard. Unlike the EP, the album was recorded with a good band, which gave the record textures that surprised some of his age New York following. Nevertheless, it made several year-end "Best of 1994" lists and earned him a belated alternative hit, "Lowest Goodbye," in the spring of 1995.
A long hiatus followed as Buckley worked on material for his follow-up effort, provisionally titled My Sweetheart, the Drunk. Originally slated to be produced by Tom Verlaine, world Health Organization subsequently dropped out of the project, Buckley finally began work on the record in Memphis during the late spring of 1997. On the night of May 29, he and a ally traveled to the local Mud Island Harbor, where Buckley ad lib distinct to go swimming in the Mississippi River and waded into the water supply fully cloaked. A few minutes later, he disappeared under the waves; regime were promptly contacted, merely to no avail -- on June 4, his body was in the end ground vagabond approximate the city's noted Beale Street area. Buckley was 30 years previous. A appeal of unreleased recordings, Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk), appeared in 1998, and 2 alive albums arrived during 2000-2001, Whodunit White Boy and Live at L'Olympia.
