10 Amazing Final Albums From Legendary Artists
3. Jeff Buckley- Grace
Both a stunning introduction and a fond farewell for an artist that looked to have so much to give, Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' may have had its mythology increased by its architect's untimely death but it doesn't dampen the fact that it is a jaw-droppingly great record.
Regularly featured on '1000 albums to hear before you die' or 'top albums of the 1990's lists, Jeff Buckley's sole studio LP is at once heartwrenching, uplifting and challenging. Flirting with the moodiness and self-loathing that were the mainstays of the era's radio friendly alt-rock while also demonstrating a natural inclination towards the healing qualities of soul and gospel, Buckley's spectacular voice is as versatile as they come.
Whilst the Tom Verlaine produced follow up 'My Sweetheart The Drunk' may have sadly never made its way to the collective ears of music buying public after the singer died in a tragic swimming accident in Wolf River Harbour , we can always be thankful that he delivered such a stirring record before he sadly left this world.
