I generally don’t do two Sunday music video posts in a row, but this seemed a good time to do so.

On this date in 1994, Jeff Buckley’s Grace was released, featuring what is believed by many to be the best cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (it’s definitely one of my favorite songs). Despite much critical acclaim for the album and the song, it didn’t get a lot of radio airplay, and sales were slow. It did finally reach gold status in the U.S. in 2002.

Buckley drowned May 29, 1997, in Memphis, where he was working on his second album. He is truly a talent gone too soon.
