MORE INFO: 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." Editorial Reviews Review Beautiful, touching tribute, with reminiscences by fellow musicians, friends, and fans, has hundreds of photos of the singer-songwriter-guitarist. -Patrick MacDonald -- Seattle Times, December 2002 A COUPLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS-1. Beautiful Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2005 If you have been as touched by Jeff Buckley's music as I have, then you absolutely need this book. The book's showcase, of course, is many gorgeous photographs of Jeff - studio portraits, live shots, casual-hanging-out shots, publicity photos, etc. It almost feels like this book contains every single photo of Jeff ever taken. (It doesn't, of course, but it feels that way - and it's a good feeling.) Mixed with the photos are quotes and stories about Jeff as told by his friends and loved ones. The touching words along with the haunting photos of Jeff will really give you a sense of who he was, almost as much as his music does. Buy this book. Drink a mug of warm chai tea, and read it while listening to Grace (preferably on a cold, rainy autumn day.) Once the album is over, your mug is empty and you've reached the last page of this stunning book, you will be changed, in a way that is both bittersweet and right.2. Sufi Soul Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014 I found what I was looking for in the insights of Jeff's friend, Bina Shariff. He recognized Jeff Buckley's Sufi soul, utterly connected to the Divine through music. This is my experience with his work and those rushes of expansive awareness felt so painful while I listened to him. I thought I was mourning him, he's my age yet I didn't know his work until my 40's - now I understand more from Mr. Shariff's words: "... He made people confront certain things in themselves, but through the music. To go inside yourself. To see more of your own beauty from inside." It's been a heart-opening experience, diving into the music and his remarkable life. I've listened to Sufi music for many years as well so I'm just beside myself! Jeff's Words: "We are spirits and the whole tension is that we don't know that we are. Yet, music is able to touch this." "You have an Eden immediately from the time you are born... Your task is to get back to it, to claim responsibility for your own perfection." He became aware of his own holiness, as he said once, and he returned to the Light. He was ready to go and made that clear in many interviews. Shariff: "He was too much of a bird, he was too beautiful" (and I'll add) - for this world.
