Title: These boots were made for...
Review: Jeff Buckley was a musical firebomb. He had a slow burn and a long comet like wake throughout his career. He had a nearly 'perfect' range as shown on Crusade era carols and mixed jams like 'Mojo Pin' and 'So Real'. To hear him whisper, 'I'm afraid....I'm afraid to love you,' is to hear beautiful resonate through sound- it was emotive, raw, shimmery, and sensual. The CD is the only full effort produced by Buckley encompassing the title of: complete album. Every other compilation was either unfinished (My Sweetheart the Drunk, revised and fretted over and then Buckley drowned) or it was a piecemeal of other recordings either caught live or pored over in remnants. However, one thing remains standard: Jeff Buckley was a tremendous vocalist with a gift for the dramatic, the flair of artistry, and although he drowned (following a familial confession of depression) his music rises from the fathoms as a beacon for real talent. If only he hadn't gone so soon.
