Book Reviews of Wished for Song: A Portrait of Jeff Buckley
Book Review: Own Hardback Copy
Summary: 5 Stars
Last year I bought the hardback copy of this for myself as a gift. It was one of the best gifts I've ever received. Haha. For any Buckley fan, it is a true wonder to flip through these pages and read excerpts from interviews with his closest friends and business partners. Some of them recall moments with adoring fans, and others recall moments with Jeff. There are also comments made on how he affected people and the music industry as a whole. (You'd be surprised at some of the modern musicians who sight Jeff as a main influence) The pictures capture him in serious posed moments, and in many beautiful candid shots as well. I'd say about half of the pictures were ones I'd never seen.
If you love Buckley the way most of his fans do, this book will touch you and perhaps, like me, it will rekindle your wonder.
Summary of Wished for Song: A Portrait of Jeff Buckley
When Jeff Buckley drowned in Memphis in 1997 at the age of 30, the music world lost one of its most original and promising voices. His 1994 debut LP Grace showcased his soaring eight-octave vocal range and fluid guitar playing, and was hailed as an instant classic, winning him legions of devoted fans the world over. Photographer Merri Cyr was there from the beginning, shooting his album covers and accompanying him on tour, capturing priceless images of Buckley's boundless charisma and many-sided personality. Now she has assembled an unforgettable and poignant collection of recollections from friends and members of his inner circle and photographs, many never before seen, of an artist whose untimely death - and the timeless music he left behind - continue to resonate. Hardcover, 340 full-color photos. Merri Cyr is a photographer and video artist. She lives in Brooklyn. "A tremendous anthology ... ravishing portraits of a singular, much-missed singer." - Rolling Stone Play Jeff Buckley's songs with our Guitar Recorded Versions tab transcription book - 00690451.General Books
