Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them.
Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of
Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between
Robert Plant,
Van Morrison, and his father
Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music:
Grace sounds like a
Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for
lounge jazz. At his best -- the soaring title track,
"Last Goodbye," and the mournful
"Lover, You Should've Come Over" --
Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst,
Grace is merely promising.
