Song of the Day: "Lilac Wine" by Jeff Buckley




A cut from Grace, my favorite album of the 1990s, if not of all time.

What a voice! What an instrument!

What a tragic loss.

Not sure how closely you watch comments on old posts.
I came across your blog as a result of the Warren PA facebook page.
Anyhow, I came across this post about Jeff Buckley and thought you might find it interesting that I met Jeff when he recorded and mixed this album at the studio I worked at in NYC.
We Warren folk are all over the place!

Definitely a huge tragedy and loss. Oddly, the engineer for this album was Andy Wallace. Who also was the mix engineer for Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon). It couldn't have been easy for him. 3 great artists passing in such a short time. Andy is pictured on the cover of the Blind Melon album "Soup".

And now you know the rest of the story.
