Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk

It was definitely a tragedy that Jeff Buckley drowned in a river in Memphis.  Grace was a really great album that showed a talent about to emerge into the light.  There’s nothing quite like mourning for a talent unfulfilled.  These songs are the demos from his half written second album. There’s a good question to be asked about posthumous albums. Should they be released? I can understand the motivation to hear everything by an artist, I’m not always convinced it’s a good idea. Quite clearly Jeff Buckley didn’t have the opportunity to finish these songs.  Some of them are really great (Everybody Here Wants You for one) while others are half finished ideas.  No surprise there.
