Worth listening to repeatedly
When I first bought this CD, it was mainly for Jeff's Leonard Cohen Hallelujah cover, as I had never even heard of Jeff Buckley, just that song, which I absolutely loved! However, when I put it on to play, I found that I was quite taken with his beautiful voice, so, a couple of songs became my favorites, namely the Edith Piaf and the Lilac Wine ones, strange....all covers, I wasn't at first too taken with his own songs on the album, except for his, Lover you should have come over! And then, something really magical happened!!! My remote control for my stereo broke, and rather than keep skipping his songs manually, which I'd been doing when I used the remote, I let them play through, and.. thank God for my laziness, because I found that after hearing Grace a few times I was mesmerized, enchanted and well and truly hooked, I just couldn't get enough of him, and before too long I was completely lost in whatever wonderful magic this Genius Musician/Singer possessed, and he has without a doubt become my favorite Artist of all time, and from what I can gather this is not too unusual with his work, I read somewhere that, this album requires and rewards repeated listening, and I can definitely vouch for that. In conclusion, Jeff Buckley is an artist who keeps giving and giving, a very special one, and I kind of envy anyone who is about to 'discover' him for the first time, for the amazing time they are going to have in doing so, and I highly recommend it to anyone,Read full review
