The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of "Hallelujah" [Hardcover]
By Alan Light
Publish Date: December 4, 2012
How did one song become an international anthem for human triumph and tragedy, a song each successive generation seems to feel they have discovered and claimed as uniquely their own?
Through in-depth interviews with its interpreters and the key figures who were actually there for its original recordings, acclaimed music journalist Alan Light follows the improbable journey of “Hallelujah” straight to the heart of popular culture. The Holy or the Broken gives insight into how great songs come to be, how they come to be listened to, and how they can be forever reinterpreted.

If Tribute alum John Condron was suffering jetlag from his recent concert tour in Ireland, it didn't show! The Philadelphia native, who lives in Joliet with his wife and three-year-old son covered Buckley's "Satisfied Mind" and performed his single "The Old Gang" from 2012's ". . . if any or at all" (which was available at the show). Check him out at: http://www.johncondron.com/
Hopefully you all had a chance to see Todd Kessler on The Voice! Kessler covered "We All Fall In Love Sometimes", an Elton John song subsequently covered by Jeff Buckley. He then performed Buckley’s duet with Elizabeth Fraser "All Flowers In Time". Finally, Kessler performed his original song "Hallelujah".

The San Francisco Chronicle features "33 Essential Debut Albums" this week. Among the featured offerings, Jeff Buckley's "Grace" is listed as one of the essentials, "with sweeping emotional anthems like 'So Real' and the blinding cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'.
Also featured are The Doors, Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, Patti Smith, MC5, Pink Floyd's "Piper at the Gates of Dawn", "The Who Sings My Generation", Led Zeppelin I and more. See the full list online at San Francisco Chronicle
In the early 90's, Jeff Buckley stopped by KCRW's studios late one night - well before he was famous - settling down in front of a microphone in Master Control right across from Liza Richardson. He sang a handful of songs, including a Bad Brains cover, an original track and a cover of Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." There was no engineer on site. It was recorded on DAT.
At first we were only able to rescue one part of the session (see here) but, as luck would have it, engineer JC Swiatek discovered another copy of the recording in her own personal collection and now we can make the entire session available.
Check it out, and fall in love with Jeff Buckley all over again.

It would be so great if everyone who lights a candle would also make May 29th the day they exercise their Golden Promise. Lighting candles and sharing how much we miss him are very comforting and inspiring, and the conscious act of doing something supremely humane is the best way for him to be remembered I can think of. Please, share that with us, too.
Bless you, all. MG

Jared has been inspired by Jeff and his music for over 25 years.

4. Jeff Buckley – Grace (1994)
Jeff Buckley may have only recorded one studio album in his tragically brief life (his posthumous sophomore effort, My Sweetheart the Drunk, wasn't quite finished by the time of death from drowning), but 1994's classic-rock masterpiece Grace managed to cement the angel-voiced rock god's legend status all on its own. With its startlingly powerful production from Andy Wallace, Grace is a revelation of studio recording—but it's all about that voice: a mind-blowing, hair-raising canon-blast of beauty and muscle, an otherworldly flame that flickered out far too soon. — Ryan Reed

In the APRIL 2012 issue of GUITAR WORLD (w/Edward Van Halen on the cover--on stands NOW), I (Dale Turner) wrote an article in my monthly HOLE NOTES Acoustic Guitar column on Jeff Buckley's chord voicings and acoustic playing. It's a full-page column and features musical examples in the style of "Lover, You Should've Come Over," "So Real," and "Last Goodbye." I was glad I got to do this!!
The atmospheric chordal stylings of the late, great Jeff Buckley
Jeff Buckley only released one full-length studio album, Grace (rel. 1994), in his lifetime, but in the 15 years since his passing (d. May 29, 1997), his influence endures, often cited as an inspiration by artists like Radiohead, Chris Cornell, Muse, Coldplay, and a host of newer acts.
While much has been said about this one-of-a-kind musician's cliché-eschewing songcraft and unparalleled vocal ability, his guitar playing rarely gets the attention it deserves. In this tribute lesson we'll take a close look at the inventive open-string voicings Jeff Buckley uses in the three Grace songs that feature acoustic guitar: "Lover, You Should've Come Over,” "So Real” and "Last Goodbye.”
-------------------
There is also a 20+-minute video lesson relating to the article, which I filmed/played on Guitar World's site:
