    Never mind that his soulful balladeering doesn’t manage to inhabit all the covers (the buoyant funk of Everyday People in particular), this is a glittering display of a powerful talent lost too soon. Hallelujah for its release.

    You and I lacks the depths and textures of Grace--the intoxicating communion with other musicians, the wild strangeness of his own nascent songwriting and the assuredness that came with locating his place in music. Yet, even without all that, Buckley’s raw talent alone remains an astonishing thing.

    Like a good deal of Hendrix’s posthumous material, whether you dig this or not depends largely upon your expectations. [No. 129, p.54]

    There’s a tremendous amount of preserved intimacy on these unearthed first studio recordings.

    Thankfully You and I is no barrel-scraping shakedown. It deserves to be heard. There may be no staggering surprises but it offers a chance to see a rare bird learning to fly. A memory worth holding on to.

    i have no idea what the critics are talking about. Right here is an amazing album with some truly beautiful acoustic covers on it.i have no idea what the critics are talking about. Right here is an amazing album with some truly beautiful acoustic covers on it. Particularly the closing track "i know its over" by the smiths, Jeff's cover brings so much more raw emotion and is hands down another cover that is better then the original. I find myself almost in tears once i hear that golden voice. Id honestly buy the album just for that cover. Truly remarkable 10/10. Full Review »
