1995-1996 Mystery White Boy

Description

Details: Amazon.caMystery White Boy, culled from Jeff Buckley’s eight-month world tour of the same name, is not just another live album blighted by whoops and catcalls. Such was the reverence granted the ill-starred singer-songwriter’s electrifying confessionals that hardly a whimper issues from the audience in 78 minutes–not, at least, until each gargantuan heart-and-soul epic ends. Buckley treated music like it was Shakespearean tragedy, and that grandiosity makes the live « Grace » and « Mojo Pin » at least the equal of their recorded counterparts. The gems, though, are the cover versions found here–especially a closing nine-minute rendition of Leonard Cohen’s « Hallelujah » that lurches into a whispered chorus of the Smiths’ « I Know It’s Over. » Ultimately, this posthumous collection is utterly captivating. –Louis PattisonProduct descriptionMystery White Boy
