#147 Jeff Buckley, 'Grace' (1994)

Jeff Buckley is one of the most tragic artists of our time. This was probably one of the new albums that I bought completely on recommendation without hearing one song. A friend had been telling me for years how amazing he was. Eventually, I found the album on an overseas trip and bought it. It only took about 2 listens to make it into my favourite albums of all-time list. Buckley’s voice was arresting and unique. Since I’ve heard many imitators, but no one that could sing quite like Jeff Buckley.
