Review by New Music: Jeff Buckley's voice is the most moving goddamn instrument

to come along in rock since Sinead O'Connor's impassioned cry. On Grace,

Buckley soars into falsetto trills and cathartic moans recalling the jazz-rock

of his father (the late Tim Buckley), with a little of Robert Plant's Zeppelin

bravura thrown in. In itsten songs, Grace paints Buckley as an artistic,

provocative young performer, able to draw upon classic rock's poetic spirit

while avoiding a dated "freedom rock" vibe. As a songwriter, Buckley roams

comfortably between soulful hippie-folk and a crushing hard rock sound,

suggestinghe's got as many records by Faith No More as he does by his

dad. Strongand eclectic as his songs are, it's the album's cover versions

thatdirectly reveal Buckley's boldness of talent. Case in point: It takes

more than a little gumption to do a solo guitar/vocal version of Leonard

Cohen's "Hallelujah," and do it in jaw-dropping, Cohen-topping fashion.

From that track, to the roaring acid blues of "Mojo Pin," to an angelic

rendition of Benjamin Britten's "Corpus Christie Carol," Buckley delivers

all the songs with spirit. His passionate, bohemian mindsetenables him

to conjure comparisons from Soundgarden to Joni Mitchell andletall his

influences fly in this stunning collection of songs. YEAR: 1994 ID3G: 17
