Jeff Buckley - Grace (Top 500 Countdown Update)
It's a good album, but I'm not very drawn to it. One review I read referred to it as mixing folk with Led Zeppelin and I can see that, but can't say that has great appeal for me. The sad part is that Buckley died before ever finishing his second album, who knows what could have been. To me this album is very much a first album, an artist trying to find their way to their voice and sound. With some artists their first album may as well be their last because they so well define their sound and voice that their is not much room left to grow, but I feel this album is merely an introduction to Buckley. In that sense I think it is a good effort, but probably should not be in the top 500 countdown.
