"turntablist" (Charleston, SC US of A) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live At Sin-E (Dlx Ed) (Audio CD)

I've been a big fan of Tim Buckley since an acquaintance put on one of his albums at a party (late night, of course - Tim's not really "rockin' good times" music...)and think he's one of the premiere folk singers of his generation. He influenced the way I listen to music, and opened up a whole host of other interests in the "singer/songwriter" arena. A sad loss he died so young.

I had heard he had a son named Jeff, and never thought to find him out until the Sin-e cd was featured at a local music store here in Charleston. Two discs, no less. I had my doubts.

Jeff Buckley reaches in on this cd to a place most musicians only delude themselves into thinking they've reached. I was so touched by the emotion of his delivery, the importance of his musical interpretation, and the bravery he had in getting on that stage, alone, to approach this type of material. Classics like "Strange Fruit" (there's a great book out on the history of this song, by the way, which is worth a read) and "Drown in My own Tears," really stand out here. His own songs, quite frankly, I wasn't very familiar with - now that I've gone back to listen to him with his band, I prefer these stripped-down interpretations. The strongest part on this album, I feel, are where he plays his father's songs - a father he barely knew, and never saw perform. It's a weird continuation: Jeff connects to Tim, and through the performance, allows me to connect to him.

This album touched me in a way - and believe me, I listen to a ton of music - that I've never experienced, and gave me a connection with a performer that could only be described as haunting.

Like his father, a sad loss he died so young.

Hard to beleive that one voice and one guitar can cut a path through such diverse music territory and perform so effortlessly. Such was the brilliance of Jeff Buckley.

Achingly beautiful. No other artist since (or maybe even before) has come close to this.

Geoff Smith (Garden City, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live At Sin-E (Dlx Ed) (Audio CD)

If you are interested in an incredible talent growing then this is the disc for you. I've been a fan of Buckley's for a while now and these are by far the discs that get the most spins in my CD player. The disc is a compilation of recordings from Jeff Buckley's early solo shows in the cafe Sin-é. The versions are raw and developing however they are soaring and passionate.
Buckley covers all ground from Dylan to Zeppelin to Billie Holiday. The most inspiring moment on the discs comes when Buckley attempts to cover Qawwali prodigy Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. When Buckley begins his interpretation of the Pakistani vocal style he is met with snickers from the audience. But as the song goes on he slowly wins the crowd over with his sincerity and by the end the entire audience is clapping along.
Though some spots seem a bit too indulgent, it is a by-product of Jeff's willingness to experiment and find himself. The two discs are all about him experimenting. Though only five of the songs are Buckley compositions (two collaborations w/ Gary Lucas) he makes each and every song his own.

Highlights are "Be Your Husband" "Lover You Should've Come Over" "Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai" "If You See Her Say Hello" "The Way Young Lovers Do" and from the DVD a gorgeous Buckley Poem "New Year's Eve Prayer"
