Free Music Notes for So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley
Free Music Review: Best Sounding Release So Far, Audiophile Approved
Hit: 5 Stars
Here's the thing about this release that makes it essential for any true Buckley fan, it has the BEST SOUNDING versions of these songs available! These are are different masters from the original releases as well as the Legacy Editions of Grace and Live at Sine. That's the real appeal to me with this release. Sure I have 99% of these songs on other releases and formats but none sound as good as they do here. You'll hear things you've never heard before...it'll make you smile and shake your head that all the releases don't sound this good.
From Rolling Stone:
"In 2004, Jeff Buckley's mom, Mary Guibert, listened to the original three-quarter-inch tape of Grace as she was preparing the 10th-anniversary reissue. "We were hearing instruments you've never heard on that album, like finger cymbals and viola strings being plucked. "It blew me away, it was exactly what he heard in the studio." To Guibert's disappointment, the remastered 2004 version failed to capture these details. So when she assembled So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley, she insisted on an independent A&R consultant to oversee the reissue process and a mastering engineer who would reproduce the sound Buckley made in the studio."(Rolling Stone)
So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley Poster
Import 14-track pressing features tracks from his two studio albums and includes two rarities, 'So Real' (Live and Acoustic in Japan - non album version/ promo single) and 'I Know it's Over' . (Previously Unreleased - Smiths cover from a session at Sony Studios that was edited for broadcast on WNEW on April 6, 1995. It was not included on the radio broadcast.) Other highlights include 'Last Goodbye', 'Forget Her', 'Everybody Here Wants You' and more. All of the tracks lifted from Grace are pulled from the remastered tracks that featured on the Legacy Edition. Sony. 2007.Among the legions of rockers who died way too young--including Jeff Buckley's father, Tim--few have approached the artistic range and seemingly limitless potential on display here. In the decade since Buckley's death, there has been such a flood of posthumous releases that it might be hard to remember that he issued only a four-cut live EP and a studio debut album while he was alive. This anthology serves as an effective introduction for the initiate, showing how Buckley could rock with the slash-and-burn intensity of Led Zeppelin on "Eternal Life (Road Version)," turn rapturous with the reverie of "Lover, You Should've Come Ove," and cover the likes of Edith Piaf ("Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin") and Leonard Cohen (his by now iconic transformation of "Hallelujah"). Completists will need this for the live versions of "So Real" and the Smiths' "I Know It's Over," previously unreleased commercially. Whether Buckley would ever have been able to balance the control that mature artistry requires and the ecstatic abandon that distinguished him, such raw talent continues to startle. --Don McLeese
