Jeff Buckley & Gary Lucas
Songs to No One 1991-1992
A frustrating reminder of what we've lost. Few artists hit me like Jeff Buckley did, and I'll continue to buy anything and everything his voice has graced. Unfortunately, this collection seems to stand as proof that the well is, indeed, dry. I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

At its best, we get tentative, embarrassingly early versions of "Grace" and "Mojo Pin." At its worst, we get a picture of an artist searching desperately for his voice. Are there moments of brilliance? Of course. But these recordings do Jeff no justice, and it's hard to imagine he'd ever want them released. Shame on you, Gary Lucas. Couldn't you have let "Sketches" or even "Mystery White Boy" ring out as his final note?
