By the time Jeff Buckley’s body was tragically dredged from the Mississippi River on 4 June 1997, his collaboration with guitarist/songwriter Gary Lucas had given the world barely a dozen tracks. Most are cult favourites. This one, the song that gave his lone studio album its title, Grace, is a stone cold classic.
Lucas explained the recording process to TG in 2011: “We doubled the parts, but mainly on I’m doing this ambient guitar, like at the beginning. First, I did the band track with the band and Jeff playing, then I had a whole session overdubbing space guitar. There are lots of little bits on that’ – that’s me doing a sighing guitar part using a whammy bar on a harmonic D chord.
