The Jeff Edition

In this edition of Shut Up & Listen to the Songs, I delve deep into the life and output of none other than... Jeff Buckley. Reviewing the recent Amy Berg documentary It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (spoiler alert: it's excellent). I give an overview of his life - a review of the doc - then a walkthrough of his albums, live albums, EPs & compilations.  It's basically a love letter to the guy. It's been a wonderful to contemplate not only what a brilliant an artist he was, but the influence he's had on me through listening the past 25 years...
