Hailed by the likes of Bono, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant, <i>Grace </i>showcased Buckley's voice, passion, and influences and pointed to an inordinately promising future. Three short years later, at the age of thirty, he tragically drowned in Memphis. But his legend and stature have only grown since; in recent years, everyone from Adele to Coldplay to Radiohead has spoken of the impact Buckley's music had on them.<br>For much of his life, Buckley diligently kept journals recording his goals, inspirations, aspirations, and creative struggles. These diaries amount to one of the most insightful life chronicles any musical artist has left behind. <i>Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice</i> marks the first-ever publication of Buckley's handwritten account of his journey from his days in Los Angeles in the late '80s through shortly before his passing. Combined with reproductions of other memorabilia--including letters, notes, and unpublished lyrics--this book takes readers and fans deep into Buckley's mind and life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>Los Angeles Times</i>, 11 highly anticipated music books </b><b><br></b><b>Amazon, </b><b>Holiday Gift Picks: Unique and Unusual Gift Books</b><b><br></b><b>Associated Press, Holiday Gift Guide</b><br><br>A self-portrait of an artist as a wide-eyed young man, it's inspiring to read and, thanks to Mary Guibert and David Browne, a privilege to hold in our hands.--<i><b>Pop Matters</b></i><br><br>Manages to summon the singular spirit of the late chanteur and songwriter. ...
