Title: Always Something New
Review: I first heard Grace four months ago and have since become a devoted fan. Without a doubt this mans music saved the 90's from bleak grunge and empty pop.Lyrically, I place him with Joni Mitchell, Carol King, McCartney/Lennon. His ability to communicate an idea or emotion with alarming directness and precision is a lost art in todays world of overly wordy pop music. As far as labeling his musical style... you really can't. Few other artists move from hard rock, jazz, soul, punk, 16th century music, and songs with eastern influences as effortlessly and as honestly as he does. You can tell Buckley was a true lover of music in general and appreciative of it's power.If you're new to Buckley's music, this CD is the best place to get your introduction (or Live at Sin-e). It's a very polished recording, but it's sure to spark your interest in his other albums (each more gritty and earthy) Mystery White Boy, and Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.
