Jeff Buckley
In Transition (RP RSD 19)

In Transition celebrates the 25th anniversary of Grace, the sole studio album released by Jeff Buckley during his lifetime, with seven previously unreleased studio performances. Recorded during his first studio session for Columbia Records in 1993, this album, true to its name, paints a vivid picture of Buckley’s evolution from stripped-back live troubadour to worldly, captivating performer whose style inspired a generation. In Transition includes stunning early versions of original songs released on Grace (“Mojo Pin,” Last Goodbye”) as well as unique interpretations of other people’s songs (Nina Simone’s “If You Knew,” an early rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”), further underscoring the power of Buckley’s forever-enduring musical style.
