On the 23rd August 1994. @JeffBuckley‘s Grace album was released. That very night Jeff performed a gig in @whelanslive in #dublin
25 years later to the day we will perform the album in it’s entirety along with some other songs from #jeffbuckley catalogue. https://t.co/9e0d90t55e pic.twitter.com/YD70NgqVrQ— john byrne (@jbyrnemusic) August 14, 2019

Sadly not and I subsequently ruined the album for myself by listening to it too much… but I’m going to give it a whirl this evening.
Indeed
I must have listened to it 1,099+ times
Title track still sends a shiver up spine though
I saw him in the Tivoli, it was meh, bad sound
I did the same with Buena Vista Social Club and The La’s album to the extent that I rendered them unlistenable now….
never in a million years would I have guessed that
(the La’s, yes; not the other two)
I’d hate to be completely predictable.. (you know I was going to say that)
mojo pin never did much for me, standout song off the album is eternal life.
Well Last Goodbye is the real standout for me
Eternal Life is good too
Radio1 did a great piece on him a couple of years ago. I’m not sure if it is available on podcast but it covered his earlier years and how he came to play at the Trinity Ball. Great piece of radio.
I skipped Buckley and went to see Chaka Demus & the Pliers in the SFX. No regrets.
I loved Shrek.
Sure you’re not getting confused with Counting Crows?!
No mate, I love shrek. No crows in shrek.
Has a shrek in it.
And a donkey.
And a depressing song.
“….Although Rufus Wainwright’s version of the song “Hallelujah” appeared in the soundtrack album, it was John Cale’s version that appeared in the film. Wainwright was an artist for DreamWorks and John Cale was not, thus licensing issues prohibited Cale’s version from appearing in the soundtrack album.”
