'Rolling Stone' Readers Pick the "Top 10 Albums of the Nineties". The list, including U2, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins and more, features Jeff Buckley's "Grace" at number 8. "Jeff Buckley's "Grace", containing possibly the definitive rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," the disc showcases one of the most stunning singing voices of the past few decades. It was re-released in 2004 with a slew of bonus tracks, including a surprisingly faithful cover of the MC5's "Kick Out The Jams."

FRIDAY,
MARCH 18, 2011 To Benefit Road Recovery
Knitting Factory Williamsburg Performances By:
Gary Lucas took some time out of his busy touring schedule to speak with JBIN and tell us how the upcoming Jeff Buckley Tribute Event at The Knitting Factory came about, Gary's involvement as Curator, a bit about the wonderful organization to whom proceeds from the evening will benefit (Road Recovery) and some of what to expect at this upcoming New York Event: "I was totally
honored when asked to put this NYC Tribute together by both the
Knitting Factory and Jeff Buckley Music. It's a wonderful thing
to be able to salute my late friend and collaborator in curating a
night like this.
ROAD RECOVERY is dedicated to helping young people battle addiction and other adversities by harnessing the influence of entertainment industry professionals who have confronted similar crises and now wish to share their experience, resources and knowledge. With support from the mental health field, ROAD RECOVERY provides hands-on mentorship training, educational/performance workshops, peer-support networking, and “all access” to real-life opportunities by collaborating with young people to create and present live-concert events.
Pop singer/songwriter Jann Klose has played three Jeff Buckley tributes at the Uncommon Ground in Chicago: 2008, 2009, and 2010. He'll be performing at the "Jeff Buckley Tribute Event Curated by Gary Lucas at the Knitting Factory on March 18. His critically-acclaimed album, "REVERIE" and music video "Doing Time" continue to build attention with AOL/Spinner featuring the video on its home page. The Washington Post writes “Klose wins over the listener with his soaring voice, which may well be a staple of chamber pop for a long time to come.” Jann's songs have been heard on the 2011 Grammy-nominated "HEALTHY FOOD FOR THOUGHT" compilation and in film and TV, including Warner Bros. "Dead Broke" featuring Paul Sorvino and MTV's "Cribs." Born in Germany, raised in Nairobi, Kenya and Johannesburg, South Africa, Jann lives in New York City. He’s opened for and performed with an array of artists, including Renaissance, Melissa Ferrick, Marshall Crenshaw, Rosanne Cash, and Les Paul. Recently Mary Guibert and Alison Raykovich caught up with Jann in Los Angeles, when he performed at the Mint, and talked with him about Jeff's impact on Jann's very eclectic musical style.

with Paradis, 38, sat in the front row of the balcony, his eyes
fixated on her throughout the two-hour show. She sang mostly in

producing a beautiful, feminine rendition of Jeff Buckley’s
"Hallelujah." ... Depp Gives Vanessa Paradis a Standing

*~*~**~* Oregon Live features Holcombe Waller's new album 'Into the Dark Unknown'. Barbara Mitchell describes Waller's voice as "otherworldly, vulnerable, and haunted," ... Waller's lyrics mention Jeff Buckley, in the song "Risk of Change", in reference to a conversation he had with a friend, who was also a friend of Jeff's, about the creative process and life's challenges. "Into the Dark Unknown" grew out of a live performance Waller put together in 2008. It's a journey through one person's doubts, insecurities, certainties and transitions that strikes a chord on both a sonic and emotional level. The album, he said, is a "contemplative sort of spiritual exploration or something, that is really a lot about transitioning permanently into adulthood and watching friends have children and watching my parents grow old and I don't know -- those things hit you. Have hit me in these past few years." Read more online at Oregon Live and www.holcombewaller.com
