A mercurial talent snuffed out all too soon by a tragic early death, Jeff Buckley seemed poised to carry the singer-songwriter tradition into the new millennium when he released his one and only studio album, 1994`s GRACE. With his inventive jazz-influenced phrasing and sweeping, wraith-like vocals, Buckley defied easy comparisons to his late-father, `70s cult troubadour Tim Buckley. While the flurry of reissues and rehashes that have emerged after Jeff Buckley`s death have generally done little to add to his legacy, GRACE AROUND THE WORLD, a collection of live recordings approximating the track list from GRACE, comes across as more than mere barrel scrapings.
Assembled from previously unreleased live concert and television appearances from locales ranging from the U.S. and U.K. to France, Germany, and Japan, the multi-disc collection provides perhaps the most comprehensive musical portrait of Buckley yet. From Buckley-penned originals ("Last Goodbye," "Grace," "Mojo Pin"), to his signature cover of Lenoard Cohen`s "Hallelujah," to the seldom-performed Qawwali-influenced "What Will You Say," the powerful performances on offer are every bit as thrilling as the studio versions. And with a companion DVD interspersed with revealing behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, a more intimate portrait of the artist is unlikely to be found.
