Jeff Buckley’s ‘Grace’ turns 25 today. Read 10 things you might not know about the singer-songwriter’s legendary debut LP
1. Buckley got his show-business break at a tribute concert for late singer Tim Buckley, the estranged father he never knew.
On the opposite coast, plans were afoot to stage a Tim Buckley tribute concert at St. Ann’s Church in Brooklyn. Since Tim’s obituaries failed to mention Jeff, few realized that the man of honor even had a biological son. Tim’s former manager, Herb Cohen, belatedly informed organizers of the junior Buckley’s existence , and an invitation was extended for him to perform. At first, he wasn’t sold on the idea.
Lucas first composed the instrumental passages to what would become “Grace” and “Mojo Pin” after he recruited Buckley to sing in his raga-rock project Gods and Monsters in the fall of 1991. “I invited him into my group,” Lucas recalled in an interview with Songfacts. “Right away, I thought he could be the great singer I’ve been looking for. He said he would do it, one thing led to another, and he was in.
Shortly after his departure from Gods and Monsters, Buckley made his debut at Sin-é, a non-descript East Village café that would become his home base. He initially stopped by on the advice of Daniel Harnett, an actor friend of Rebecca Moore’s, who talked Buckley up to the club’s owner, an Irish ex-pat named Shane Doyle. “My memory is he just kind of ambled into the place dragging his guitar in the middle of the day with his head half down,” Doyle remembered in.
