Book Reviews of Wished for Song: A Portrait of Jeff Buckley
Book Review: Essential for all the right reasons
Summary: 5 Stars
This book offers everything that a photo album should have with commentary that gives it a genuine family-like insight about what matters even more than his music - who Jeff Buckley is as a person.
I became immersed, chin in hands with my coffee and was completely drawn in. The people who mattered in his life provide honesty about his heart, soul and creative process which only gave me a deeper respect for Jeff as a person and as a musician. I also learned alot about myself in the process and how similar we two are. (musician and person - but that's another story)
Alongside the GRACE LEGACY EDITION, this book is a prized possession. Not in the glorified sense but in the quality sense. Just as YOUR own photographs and conversations might be. I highly recommend this book. I can only hope now that one day perhaps the right movie / documentary on his life will be witnessed. Cudos to Mary Guibert. Hold it true.
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.Theater Books
