So some dreadlocked guy sings Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" the other night on American Idol, and Randy and Simon rattle on about how they love Jeff Buckley's version, and just like that, the Buckley track jumps out of nowhere to #4 on the iTunes chart, which is the first time Jeff's music has been in any top 10 in the U.S. (I'm pretty sure). We live in an odd world.You've heard and seen Jeff si...

The soundtrack of the "I'm Your Man" concert got me started, and I've been eating it up.Now Blair posted his eponymous Jeff Buckley song again, and I remembered that Jeff also has a great Leonard Cohen song.

I was just listening to a studio session of Jeff Buckley’s (RIP) version of “Hallelujah,” and I can’t tell if it has uplifted me or made me depressed. The song gives me chills every time I hear it, because Jeff Buckley had one of the most incredible voices and this cover is probably my favorite [...]
