Throughout all the music in the world, the question remains; "Who is/was Jeff Buckley?" All of his fans know the answer. He was an inspiration to music, and to all of us. The words of his wisdom are expressed in his music, and it's in his music that his soul still speaks. Jeff will forever live in our hearts every time we play one of his records, every time we sing one of hs songs walking down the street, and every time we scream away in the shower. All I can say to Jeff now is "Thank you!" Every time I hear you sing, I hear you "screaming down from heaven."

Any and Every piece that Jeff Buckley has ever written or been involved with is,of course,pure genius. Every word ,every note,beautiful. Listen to this album, and all of the others, because he is ALIVE in them, not because he has passed! I have read so many reviews about how wonderful he was and how his music was so heavenly, and I've heard them speak over about what a loss it is to the world that he cannot be here with us. Yes, all of that is true, but listen to the music, it is more song and more note than you'll ever get from anyone else, but take it for what it is, it is where he lives, and stop glamourizing his death, he would have hated that.

I don't think anyone could, has or ever will touch music like Jeff Buckley did! His music was and still is to me like a Harris painting, no one can come close to his style of art work! Thank-you JEFF BUCKLEY for creating such influencial music and words..................

I met Jeff Buckley at his concert in Los Angeles during his intimate "Grace" tour... he was a very sweet, very shy man... who once on stage transformed from a guy making wise-cracks in between songs for a laugh (as though he needed to further entertain his audience beyond the magic of his songs) to a brilliant artist unleashing the voice of the heavens. While the audience was still laughing, Jeff would close his eyes for a moment to quiet himself, then out came this VOICE beyond belief. It struck me as such a paradox. He was truly wonderful, truly special, and will be truly missed. DON'T MISS HIS LIVE CDs! They are a treat beyond the studio versions.

I heard a lot of music before in my life, but the only song to ever make me cry was Jeff's "Lover You Should've Come Over". It is the most beautiful and heart wrenching song that I have ever heard, and I believe that everyone should hear it. "Grace", is the best album that I have ever heard!

It only contains 3 tracks but it's well worth the money spent; after all--it's quality, not quantity! "Kanga Roo" is an epic cover and I suggest that if you thoroughly enjoy this version, track down the original by Big Star (from "Third/Sister Lovers"). Alex Chilton and Buckley are woven from the same emotional thread and their musics are very similar in melody and content. This is one of Jeff's finer excursions into the realm of experimental and ethereal sound. Yet another side to brilliant polygon of immeasurable shape and definition.

What is there to say that everybody else hasn't already. A musician that has music embedded to the depths of one's soul comes around every once in a great while. Jeff was it! My only regret is the I didn't see the magic live. Find Jeff for yourself. You'll be forever changed like I have...

The ninth day, God created music. Then he told Jeff: " Now...you're in charge of it."

I'll tell you one thing.If it was not for Jeff's way of composing any song and his voice so angelic I would not be so sentimental.He put alot of things in perspective for me with this album.I say definatley buy this one.I have all the albums and almost all of the singles and for you crazy kids who have not yet purchased "GRACE" you don't know what you are missing.
