My parents didn't allow me to hitch-hike to Denmark, Roskilde, in the summer of '95. Ha! What a shocker! I was 14 and my only wish was to see Jeff Buckley on Stage. He had this amazing voice that left me in a daze. He sounded like a mixture of my two favorite jazz vocalists:
Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. Today we can hear Robert Pattinson, yes the vampire-actor, with a pipe that sounds a lot like the one of my hero Jeff Buckley. Do hope he gets to play him on the screen one day...
Buckley is known for his debut album "Grace" and this masterpiece has been with me since day one. Through high school, the good and the bad. It held my hand through cheating boyfriends and jumped for joy at my achievements in life. It remains till this day one of my top five favorite albums of all times.
