    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 albumi have no idea what the critics are talking about.

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

    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.

    A good 80% of You and I, the latest album of the lot, consists of covers, many already released in some format.... The new material includes a version of "Grace" that is basically a fully formed demo, while "Dream of You and I" is barely even that; the title is literal, Buckley thinking aloud about a dream he had about a band’s "space jam," which inspired him to write what’d eventually become "You and I."
