Jeff Buckley - Grace - by Bob Gulla
Jeff Buckley's voice is an anomaly in modern rock. Part unpolished, operatic alto, part passionate screamer, his vocals absorb the extreme contours of his songs the way a skier takes black diamond bumps. Not since Robert Plant has a singer wrung such unfiltered emotion from his material. After a stunning solo EP, Buckley surrounds himself with a trio on Grace, his first full-length record. The grooves scatter in a dozen different directions -- jazzy shuffles, folky blues, and flat-out Zeppelin rockers -- but above it all, it's Buckley's voice that demands and ultimately captures our attention.
