Jeff Buckley - Born Again From The Rhythm - The Grace Outtakes



1993 - Bearsville Recording Studio - Woodstock, New York

When Jeff Buckley was alive, his Grace album (1994) wasn't the seller everyone had hoped though it had good word of mouth. Since his death in 1997, the album has gained in popularity and there was even a Legacy Edition of the album released in 2004 with a bonus disc and DVD. Considered one of the most promising artists of his generation after the release of Grace, It does seem as if Buckley had a good selection of songs when he entered Bearsville Recording Studios and Born Again From The Rhythm collects demos that are sure to please his fans. For example, there are two sweet takes of Dylan's Just Like A Woman and smouldering versions of Dinks Song and Led Zep's Night Flight respectively. Just like Beatles, Sinatra or Elvis outtake collections which contain multiple takes of the same song, here there are three versions of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and three different takes of Dylan's Mama, You've Been On My Mind. With the singer prominent on acoustic/electric guitar, consider this Jeff Buckley Unplugged. Overall, the sound is excellent.
