Artist: Jeff Buckley.

Album: Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.

Show notes: That evening when I went to a friends apartment and they played me records, and I was introduced to so much: Amongst others, My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Sonic Youth and The Buckleys. 


Tim Buckley - Dolphins (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1974).

Well, Tim, specifically. Seeing that video led me to Jeff, a short time later. I enjoyed learning of their musical journeys, history and associations with other artists. Dream Brother by David Browne which was mentioned on the show is a great place to start.


Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You.

Sad that they both left us too soon. Tim's nine albums, and both Jeff's albums are merely a fraction of what should have been a vast musical output. 

PS: The version of Hallelujah that Jeff Buckley recorded was based on John Cale's version. I became a little confused, and I couldn't remember if it was John Cale or John Cage (we had seen a John Cage piece of artwork at The Tate Liverpool, yesterday).
