10 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2016

7. Jeff Buckley - You & I

Perhaps the most mysterious entry on this list is the posthumous release of some recordings Jeff Buckley made nearly two decades ago, which have just recently been unearthed. Buckley was a shooting star when he mysteriously died in 1997 after releasing only one album, the iconic Grace (which David Bowie considers the best album of all time, by the way). Considering how suddenly his talents were snatched from the world, any promise of "new" Jeff Buckley music is regarded with equal amounts of enthusiasm and trepidation, since it could so easily be another posthumous cash-in. This upcoming album, You & I, doesn't seem that way, though. It will feature ten of Buckley's very first studio recordings and, although only two of them are original songs, it's worth remembering that Buckley is best known for his breathtaking version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," so even a postmortem collection of covers is something to be hopeful about. Among the covers are versions of Sly and the Family Stone€™s "Everyday People," Bob Dylan€™s "Just Like a Woman," and the Smith's "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side."
