Jeff Buckley

Real name: Jeffrey Scott Buckley

Effective period / Period of releases: 1993 - 2019

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 - May 29, 1997) was an American singer and guitarist who died at a young age, just like his father Tim Buckley. His unique voice, spanning four octaves, quickly launched him to semi-celebrity. After playing with experimental guitarist Gary Lucas in his band Gods and Monsters, he released his first album Grace in 1994. Initial sales were slow but the album quickly received critical acclaim and appreciation from other musicians (among them Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney). Just before recordings began for his second album which was to be called My Sweetheart The Drunk, Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis, Tennessee, aged 30.

After Buckley's death some of the demo recordings for his second album were released on Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. Early session work recorded in February 1993 was officially released in 2016 and 2019, and several albums composed of live recordings have also been released, along with a DVD of a live performance in Chicago. Fun fact: before breaking through Jeff Buckley had worked for 6 years as a receptionist at Magic Hotel in Los Angeles, California, USA.
