Залит JeffBuckley/(1994)Grace

Джефф Бакли, также известный, как Скотт Мурхэд, был молодым американским рок-певцом. Своего он ничего особенного не написал, но прославился ковер-версиями чужих песен, особенно "Аллилуйя!" Леонарда Когана.
У него очень красивый и гибкий голос, которым он был способен исполнять, как рок-баллады, так и боевики, временами очень напоминая Роберта Планта.
К сожалению, в возрасте 30 лет он по пьяни решил поплавать в речке и угодил под винт проходящей лодки.
Рекомендую!

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 - May 29, 1997), raised as Scott Moorhead, was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-e, gradually focusing more on his own material. After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father Tim Buckley's manager Нerb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace, in 1994.

Over the following three years, the band toured extensively to promote the album, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia. In 1996, they stopped touring and made sporadic attempts to record Buckley's second album in New York City with Tom Verlaine as producer.

In 1997, Buckley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to resume work on the album, to be titled My Sweetheart the Drunk, recording many four-track demos while also playing weekly solo shows at a local venue. On May 29, 1997, while awaiting the arrival of his band from New York, he drowned during a spontaneous evening swim, fully clothed, in the Mississippi River when he was caught in the wake of a passing boat; his body was found on June 4.

Since his death, there have been many posthumous releases of his material, including a collection of four-track demos and studio recordings for his unfinished second album My Sweetheart the Drunk, expansions of Grace, and the Live at Sin-é EP. Chart success also came posthumously: with his cover of Leonard Cohen's song "Нallelujah" he attained his first number one on Billboard's Нot Digital Songs in March 2008 and reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart that December. Buckley and his work remain popular and are regularly featured in "greatest" lists in the music press.

In 2004, Rolling Stone listed him at number 39 on their list of greatest singers of all time. In the December 2013 Mojo, Grace was named the 12th best album of the magazine's 20-year lifetime.
