A cut to give fans the chills
A preview from the upcoming Jeff Buckley covers album, entitled You And I, has been released. The Californian vocalist takes on the classic Bob Dylan song 'Just Like A Woman.'
It's just a sample of what it's to come from the singer's posthumous album, due out on March 11. In the early studio recordings Buckley covered, Sly & The Family Stone’s ‘Everyday People’, The Smiths’ ‘The Boy With The Thorn In His Side’ and ‘I Know It’s Over’, and Led Zeppelin’s ‘Night Flight’.
"As we began to explore how we might celebrate the 20th anniversary of Jeff Buckley's Grace, the vault - as it still occasionally and unexpectedly will - presented us with an unbelievable gift: this 'lost' cache of studio recordings from the period," said Adam Block, President, Legacy Recordings. "We quickly realised how remarkable they were. They offer an incredible, rare glimpse of an artist, alone, in the sacred space that is the studio. There's an intimacy and an honesty to the performances that's literally breathtaking. You & I is an important addition to Jeff's recorded legacy and will be a thrill for both his devoted longtime fans and newcomers alike."
Also included on the record are the original versions of 'Grace' and 'Dream Of You And I'. As well as, covers of Louis Jordan’s ‘Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Cryin', Jevetta Steele’s ‘Calling You’, Bukka White’s ‘Poor Boy Long Way From Home’.
