So Real - Songs From Jeff Buckley

[ Columbia Records / CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 29 January 2008

This 14-track anniversary collective features tracks from Jeff's three albums and includes two rarities - "So Real" (Live and Acoustic in Japan) and his hauntingly beautiful cover of The Smiths' "I Know it's Over" (previously unreleased).

'So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley' is the first official anthology of Jeff Buckley, paying tribute to his extraordinary musical legacy that has continued to grow and strengthen long past his untimely death ten years ago.

This 14-track anniversary collective features tracks from 'Live At Sin-e', 'Grace' and 'Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk', but also includes two rarities - "So Real" (Live and Acoustic in Japan) and Jeff's hauntingly beautiful cover of The Smiths' "I Know it's Over" (previously unreleased, from a session at Sony Studios that was edited for broadcast on WNEW on April 6, 1995. It was not included on the radio broadcast.)

Other highlights include "Last Goodbye", "Forget Her", "Everybody Here Wants You" and more. All of the tracks lifted from 'Grace' are pulled from the re-mastered tracks that featured on the Deluxe Legacy Edition. Also included are liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke and previously unseen photographs.

"This will be the perfect CD to recommend to someone who's never heard of Jeff. For this new album, we've gathered 14 tracks from various previous releases (including the 'Grace' EPs and two previously unreleased songs) and given the listener a well-rounded picture-window sized view of Jeff's entire catalog. We wanted to model it after the mixed tapes that Jeff would put together of a favorite artist."
- Mary Guibert, Jeff Buckley's mother.
