| Currently spinning the new album of unreleased material. It makes me so disheartening that he will never make new music again. | |

| Only know his cover of Hallelujah, but it's one of the most perfect performances I've ever heard. Is he always that good? | |

| Well Jeff has always been a strange one for me. He is one of my favourite artists of all time but I always seem to forget that. It's weird, I love his music so much yet I always forget how good he is until I starting listening to Grace. I think it's because he had such a short life and career. Seriously check out Grace though, one of the best records of all time. I really think Jeff is one of the most underrated guitarists that there has ever been. His guitar playing makes me feel a certain way, it reminds me of people, of cities, of the past, the future all at once. | |

| Still need to pick up the new disc, Grace is definitely a favorite. The expanded version of Live at Sin-é is fantastic too.
This is just incredible too...

| Yeah, live at Sin-e is my favourite live album of all time. Could get lost in that tracklisting. | |

| Live at Sin-e really demonstrates how great Jeff was at guitar, especially the Legacy edition. | |

Totally agree with this. I can't imagine why they thought the original release as a 4 song EP was a good idea when the whole thing is pure gold. I know at the time it made sense with him being unknown and that he hadn't even released Grace yet but still.... What's your take on Sketches? I don't listen to it nearly as much as his other stuff but I still find it very enjoyable. There were a few false starts and scrapped recording sessions to album number two, I wonder what the finished release would have sounded like. | |

| Haven't really dived into yet actually dude. I feel like a lot of his compilation stuff is hard to take outside the context of an album. | |

| I get what you're saying there. I'd probably recommend listening to the 2 discs separately in that case.
Just picked up the new album a couple days ago. I really like the feeling that you're just sitting in on a recording session with him. Some good tracks on there too. I'd have loved a better version of "When the Levee Breaks" to be included. There's one floating around but I haven't found anything better than a 128 mp3 yet. | |

The Sky is a Landfill is one of my favorite songs he ever did. | |

| The Sky is a Landfill is definitely a top notch track. Nightmares by the Sea and Morning Theft are probably the other 2 that I like best from Sketches. Everybody Here Wants You is likely the most recognized and it's good but wouldn't have been my choice for a single. Although I almost never agree with the choice for a lead single so that doesn't mean anything. | |
