JEFF BUCKLEY

Mystery White Boy (Columbia)

If you could nail one thing on the late Jeff Buckley, it's unpredictability--in the best sense of the word. In concert, he went wherever his feelings dictated, his acrobatic voice floating, fluttering, and howling at whim. While this could lead to occasional extremities of self-indulgence, it more often brought out pure, uncut beauty. This compilation which culls the best moments of shows recorded from 1995 to '96 is a testament to one of rock's true great voices, confirming that Buckley ranks right up there with some of his own heroes, like Edith Piaf and Robert Plant.
