Huge Buckley fan. Have been for at least 8 or 9 years. Though I haven't listened obsessively like I used to for a couple of years now.

Love Buckley - I think all the compilation CD's and rarity discs released recently are mostly a money grab, so I don't have them. I mean he doesn't get anything for it.

I think he was a great songwriter, my only criticism would be of the sometimes obtuse arrangements he would create - I guess some might see that as a strength. but thats me.

All in all i really enjoy his music.

Thanks for that. YEah his mother is sort of trying to make a profit, but, Sketches for my sweet heart the drunk is actually really good. You should check it out.

Totally agree. Haven't bought anything after Sketches as I refuse to line the pockets of Sony and Mary Guibert. I certainly didn't get involved in that inane UK X Factor battle of who's version of Halleleujah is best (Lucky Jim's, by the way, but he wasn't in the running). The constant dead rock star pushing and money grabbing of Jeff Buckley's legacy nowadays is really distasteful. The sad thing is he'd hate it if he knew and it's his own mother doing it.

You know what, I'd far rather be giving my money to artists recording stuff now and who I think deserve my money more than the lets get rich by using Jeff Buckley's name commercial leeches. That's a more fitting legacy to him than another regurgitated CD of songs off Grace, bits off Sketches and other stuff he didn't think fit to release in his lifetime and would never have seen the light of day had he been alive.

There's a huge list floating about, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I do know for certain that Wave Goodbye by Chris Cornell, Memphis by P J Harvey and most of the album Distorted Lullabies by the absolutely wonderful band Ours were written about Jeff.

I remember everyone talking about it back in the day and I have a vague memory of Ed mentioning it in an interview. Did a little research... Here's what I came up with

From a Buckley fanpage: MWB

"...an invisible Mississippi, Ganges or a Nile
I feel the quiet river rage
forcin' my lips into a smile...

It was just before he sang these lyrics that Live singer Edward Kowalczyk dedicated the song "Feel the Quiet River Rage" to the late Jeff Buckley in Live's March 2000 concert. It is very possible that this song was written with Buckley in mind - his passing-on occurring as he swam carefree in the Mississippi singing "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. Or, more deeply, perhaps the song refers to the flood of emotion in which one finds one's self swimming while experiencing Buckley's music. Jeff Buckley's voice, Kowalczyk remarked, could make you spontaneously sprout wings and take flight. Any of Buckley's recordings are testament to this - his live performances being at the very pinnacle.
