Mystery White Boy 66

9 years ago today, Jeff Buckley went for a swim in the Mississippi River, never to return. You left us too soon Jeff. Take care, where ever you are. 'Grace' is still the most beautiful record ever written.
 
In goes the CD. Sure is a great record. The band that I managed at the time had the pleasure of playing with him over two nights at Albert's Hall. First night we opened for him and we got a great response. The second night he opened for us. The club was empty by the time we hit the stage.
 
I've never heard of either of them - then again, the early 90's weren't a period known for great music.
 
Pick up this record if you haven't heard it. It's the most amazing thing you can do with your ears.
 
Can't seem to link to the record.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

I guarantee you've never heard a record that sounds like it. Yes there was a lot of brutal music that came out in the 90s, but don't let that deter you. This album is the antithesis of mainstream rubbish.

The mid '70s weren't really an age of great music either. Besides, I was 8 in 1975, and didn't aspire, then or now, to your level of pretentiousness, musical or otherwise.

I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw the author of this comment. AP, I must give you credit: you sure have nerve.
 
1975 was a wonderful time for music in Toronto. Roxy Music did a couple of great concerts at Massey Hall that I saw around that time, and I saw Sparks there a couple of times too. And Rough Trade were the warm up band for one of them. Punk is often wrongly identified as a force that dislodged the dinosaur heavy metal bands, when it was actually art college bands like these who brought new music into play.

Both Buckleys were eye candy for sure, regardless of what they sounded like. The passing of great beauties is always to be mourned.
