Let it Ride, Everybody Here Wants You,

First off, Ryan Adams. Definately one of the more prolific songwriters around. Not everything he does is gold, but he is, nonetheless, one of my favorite songwriters. The entire Love is Hell album is perfect in my eyes. This song is from one of my other favorites, Cold Roses.




I'm not sure what happened with that last video. Anyway, this is another Jeff Buckley song I just fell in love with. As I said, he was currently in the process of recording his second album when he died. The band members and producer completed the instrumentation after Mr. Buckleys death, without his feedback, so who knows if this is exactly how he envisioned this particular song. Regardless, I love it. Unfortunately the video isn't enabled for embedding, so just follow the link:

Jeff Buckley - Grace

This guy is an incredibly talented songwriter, musician, and vocalist who died before he even scratched the surface of his potential. He was working on his second album, awaiting the arrival of his bandmates in Memphis to finish the sessions. He went for a swim one evening in the Wolf river and drowned. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. It is presumed that he was swept away from shore by the current.





Also, I think it would behoove you all to take a look at this music blog:
