Amazing CD

I just bought one of the greatest CDs I've ever listened to. It's called "Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-e`." Before Jeff got known, he played every monday night at a little cafe called Sin-e` in New York City. He would just go up and freeball a set, playing all night or just a couple of hours, and people eventually started hearing about him and coming to see him, which is how he got signed to Sony. This CD is basically going back to those days. It's just him and a guitar playing his own songs, many of them different versions from the ones on other albums, and many covers from Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, and others. It's such a personal album.. You really feel like you're there, sipping a cup of coffee and listening to this insanely passionate musician just jam all night. The thing I like the best is they left in everything, so you hear Jeff talking to the audience (probably less than 50 people), messing around like his goofy self, and just having a good time. I listened through the whole album and it was one of the most enjoyable music experiences I've had.
