Free Music Review: A Match Made At High Altitude
Hit: 4 Stars
It may be coincidental that my favourite Jeff Buckley songs were written by others...'Lilac Wine' and 'Hallelujah'. But in the usual banter we have when comparing him to his father, it's Tim trumping the prodigal with his lyric skills, which is by no means an attempt to diminish Jeff's gifts. 'Grace' is unquestionably a more listenable, intimate and coherent album than any of his fathers'. And if you wanted added proof of his virtuosity then this concert, held in July 1995,is a fabulous testament. The warmth of his voice is astonishing. But my prompt to get the album is the incomparable, final track, with my idol, Alim Qasimov, not from the concert at L'Olympia. It's tacked on, fairly seamlessly, from a concert of Sacred Music, held two weeks later, in the small village of Saint Florent Le Vieil in Western France. The latter had heard Jeff and invited him to the event. When he heard Qasimov rehearsing he was so overawed by the master's supreme purity, Buckley endured a period of great doubt before agreeing to join Qasimov for this duet. What a find! Or a find that these two matchless souls could unify, if only briefly.'What Will You Say' is the evidence. A treasure to pursue!Free Music Review: A Worthy Addition to Your JB Collection

I was so excited to have this particular piece to add to my collection, I had it air freighted from France. I can honestly say I've not been disappointed with the music if taken by itself. For the artist, this period of time seems to be most rewarding and satisfying, if music is admitted as evidence.Most of the songs on this CD were not professionally recorded, but instead copied from Jeff's personal tapes by his ever-present mother. Michael Tighe and Jeff's ever-present mother produced and arranged the tracks.
That said, I think the true tragedy in Jeff's death is how the music is now managed and produced. I hear clips and segueways (sp.) that are now or before taken out of context.
My advice for the future, find the tapes, clean them up a bit, release them. Let the work stand alone without senseless meddling.

Hit: 4 Stars
Not as good as I expected, although my expectations are high on any Buckley product. In any event a must buy for any Buckley fan and I already have bought another for a friend. His material is timless and hauntingly beautiful. His version of Zep is quite funny. Jeff's songwriting is amazing and none of his records leave my player very long.Free Music Review: Good buy

I'd like to comment on the heck of a job the audio people did in creating this CD. They pulled the songs off of some old tapes and yet the quality is pretty good. It's awesome to hear Jeff really 'get into' the music on these songs. This CD is quite unique I'd say. Sounds like he really owned Kick Out the Jams on this version.
