After the various comments on Jeff Buckley recently, I have just heard Nick Drake on an advert for something.

Something of a cult well over thirty years after his, is he really very good and original or did his death simply make him a cult.

Personally I love his music with its slightly claustrophobic, chamber arrangements, crazy accoustic guitar fingering and soulful voice.

Roll over Jeff Buckley I say!

If he had ever imagined his music would have been used to sell tat on the telly, he would probably have topped himself sooner!
Beautiful music, not really of this world, and all the better for it!

He will be more than rolling over could be dancing on his own grave


His music was not bad and not good!

I had thought that myself over the years. A man who accused John Martyn of selling out commercially!

Not really sure Jeff is in the same league but who knows ,ask us in twenty years
