Music reviews of Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk)
Music Review: Heartbreakingly Divine & Beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars
CD One is LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - I LOVE IT... Even to a Non Jeff Buckley Fan. CD One is VERY Polished (Yes, I am aware the CD is not polished to Jeff's or his band's standards due to Jeff's death) - BUT Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk will not disappoint!! Jeff Buckley's songs are always so original and never sound the same (so often found in today's indie and alternative bands). The music is Timeless WITHOUT that "classic rock" feel (I like classic rock - but sometimes sicken from radio overplay). If you have a good ear for music you will quickly realize that Jeff Buckley was a multi-talented genius with endless musical possibilities just from listening to the CD the 1st time. If you are poetically inclined, a lyric lover, or a deeper meaning seeker - this CD will submerge you in a state of perpetual bliss... The lyrics to these songs kick butt beyond the surface of everything that ever was.
CD 2 is a bit unpolished as these were "RAW" songs - some produced by Buckley alone via Home Four Track Recordings - and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE 2ND CD AS MUCH AS THE 1ST, but this may not be so to a Jeff Buckley Newbie - no offense...As a Buckley Fan (and I am the biggest that ever was and ever will be - I have listened to Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk EVERY DAY for the last 2 1/2 years) - I absolutely ADORE and LOVE the 2nd CD as it exposes and reveals Jeff in his natural, real, and raw music making process. The 2nd CD may be a turn off to a person who has not listened to his music for long. Jeff Buckley was a paradox to many people, and the 2nd CD can appear as a confusing paradox as well. I give Buckley's Mother, Mary Guibert, a round of applause for being bold in this decision.
Anyways - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD - BUY IT AND LET IT GROW ON YOU... then after you have a good grip on CD 1... venture on to CD2. This music is heartbreakingly divine and beautiful -
Description of Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk)
Perhaps the most talented "son act" in pop music, Jeff Buckley combined the often harrowing eclecticism of estranged papa Tim Buckley with the rock acrobatics of Robert Plant. This posthumously released collection of four-track demos and sessions helmed by Tom Verlaine indicates that Buckley's astonishing full-length debut, Grace, was no fluke. The young singer-songwriter puts his falsetto to good use on an extraordinary collection of original material, from the soulful "Everybody Here Wants You" to the psychedelic "Murder Suicide Meteor Slave." And while his bluesy take on Porter Wagoner's "Satisfied Mind" may not be as revelatory as his earlier version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," this album offers ample proof that Buckley was among his generation's most gifted voices. --Bill FormanGeneral CDs
