Jeff Buckley – Grace

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time — rated 304/500

“During his famed early gigs at the New York club Sin-é, Buckley used to break hearts with his version of this Cohen prayer. Buckley called it a homage to ‘the hallelujah of the orgasm’ and had misgivings about his sensuous rendition: ‘I hope Leonard doesn’t hear it.’ On his posthumous live album Mystery White Boy, Buckley turns ‘Hallelujah’ into a medley with the Smiths’ ‘I Know It’s Over.'” – Rolling Stone

Grace is the only complete studio album by Buckley, originally released on August 23, 1994. After his death in 1997, the album grew to be one of the most important album’s of the ’90s. The album was produced by Andy Wallace who had mixed Nirvana’s album Nevermind.

In addition to seven original songs, the album included three covers: “Lilac Wine”, based on the version by Nina Simone, “Corpus Christi Carol,” from Benjamin Britten’s A Boy Was Born and Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
