	The Music Box: Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk (Album Review)
		In the wake of his accidental death by drowning on May 29, 1997 at the age of 30, it is all-but impossible to hear Jeff Buckley's Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk with objective ears.
		Jeff Buckley left Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk -- a 2-CD, 20-song collection of new studio and four-track recordings released nearly a year to the day after his body was recovered from the murky Mississippi.
		Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk's second disc is the decidedly "sketchier" effort here, though repeated listening eventually yields rich rewards.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk [ECD] - Jeff Buckley at Epinions.com
		Buckley's specter is all over Sketches, a two-disc collection of recordings somehow related to Buckley's ne'er-completed sophomore album, My Sweetheart the Drunk, culled, courtesy of his mother, Mary Guibert, from discarded tracks recorded with producer Tom Verlaine (of Television) and Buckley's own 4-track demos.
		Sketches marks a departure from Grace--- the lush, breathy soundscapes, carried along by Buckley's lilting croon and his peerless falsetto, are all but ditched in favor of similarly expressive rockers and, surprisingly, a few bouncier numbers.
		Sketches For My Sweetheart the Drunk is one of the most vital, most necessary posthumous releases of any artist.

	Ink 19 :: In Perspective (Jeff Buckley)
		The better songs on My Sweetheart are born of new approaches for the singer.
		The patchwork of styles within the double CD may impede the growth of his fan base, which is more of a shame for music lovers than for the wealth of his estate or record company.
		However, the record is (as qualified by his mother and former bandmates) a memorial, an opening up of Buckley's musical sketchbook, and the subjectivity of his love ones, and the desires of his diehard fans rule over artistic intent.

	Jeff Buckley : Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Jeff Buckley was a mess of contradictions: a perfectionist who believed in spontaneity, a man who was at once humble and vain, a musician who shunned his father's tumultuous legacy while creating one of his own.
		He reworked a few songs as home demos as he prepared to cut the album, but it was never made -- Buckley died in a tragic drowning accident before entering the studio.
		Sketches adds several wonderful songs to his catalog, offering further proof of his immense talent.

		The international pressings of Sketches were all released earlier in May. All international pressings include the non-US track "Gunshot Glitter," culled from the four-track recordings Jeff made in the spring of 1997 in Memphis.
		"My Sweetheart the Drunk" was the working title that Jeff Buckley was using while writing and recording the album.
		There were three recording sessions for what would have been My Sweetheart the Drunk: one in Manhattan in the summer of 1996, another in Manhattan in early 1997, and the last in Memphis shortly after, in 1997.

	Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk \| Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, ...
		Jeff Buckley left Sketches -- a "2-CD, 20-song collection of new studio and four-track recordings" released nearly a year to the day after his body was recovered from the Memphis, Mississippi.
		Conversely, Sketches' soundscapes are best represented by the pitch-fl pairing of "New Year's Prayer" -- its sinister metronomical meter and multi- tracked incantations suggesting a full-moon-illumined Druid sacrificial ceremony -- and "You & I" -- sounding like nothing so much as Romeo bidding adieu to Juliet within the resounding bowels of the Capulet tomb.
		Elsewhere, Buckley's expressive, falsetto-friendly tenor (Thom York-esque, with a dash of Robert Plant) swings nimbly from a whisper to a wail, from the sweetest coos and come-ons to the lustiest blood-gorged growls.

	Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, is a collection of both a complete album and four-track demos recorded by Jeff Buckley.
		Not being completely satisfied with an album recorded in the summer of 1996, and early in 1997, he had begun work on many demos and had been reworking the already finished material to gain the sound he was hoping to achieve.
		To be titled My Sweetheart, the Drunk, the album was never finished, as the rest of the band were traveling to meet Buckley at the time of his death.

	Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Fortunately, Buckley did quite a bit of recording between Grace's completion and his death, and had actually completed an album with which he and his record company were reportedly displeased.
		The two-disc Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk attempts to fill in the gap, making available the scrapped album and the most releasable demos Buckley made in preparation for what he would have recorded in Memphis last summer.
		The incompleteness of Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk is to be expected, but it never keeps the collection from being absolutely essential.

	Rolling Stone : Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk : Review
		Which may explain Buckley's alleged dissatisfaction with his first stab at recording what was to be his second album, Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk).
		Sketches ends with an odd leap back to 1992 and a live-radio reading of Porter Wagoner's 1955 country hit "Satisfied Mind." But Buckley gives a performance of sublime purity and contentment that illuminates the heart and purpose etched deep in the rest of Sketches.
		The posthumously released Sketches for My Sweetheart The Drunk finds the crooning adventurer diving deeper into the choice punk of theage, but late seventies New Wave as well.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Jeff Buckley: Sketches: For My Sweetheart the Drunk
		ketches: For My Sweetheart the Drunk, Jeff Buckley's first posthumous release following his drowning in 1997, is a sad reminder of the singer's talent and unrealized potential.
		The album opens with "The Sky Is A Landfill," an accomplished political rocker (he moans "Don't suck the milk of the flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise").
		Sketches has a pop sensibility that was only hinted at on his debut.

		Depending on which magazine you read, you are supposed to approach listening to this album with feelings of (a) voyeurism from reading secret diaries full of unresolve or (b) digust at a posthumous release which taints the memory of a great performer.
		With all that said, listen in celebration of the chords, the voice, and the life of the mischievous angel.
		Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk consists of two discs.

	"Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" by Jeff Buckley - zBoneman Music Reviews
		While his band was actually in flight to join him in Memphis to begin preparations for the recording of Sweetheart, Jeff and his friend went out for a bite and ended up at the Wolf River Marina to watch the sunset.
		And sad that it will stand as his farewell--he wasn't even close to being finished with it; however, there is plenty here to prove that he was capable of harnessing his poetic rage.
		The best description I can offer is that Sweetheart sounds like an angry Abbey Road, the guitar work is Led Zeppelinesque and his lyrics have the acerbic bite of Roger Waters and rich imagery of Peter Gabriel Genesis.

	14. Jeff Buckley - Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk
		This is never more clear then when one takes the time to carefully admire the range of the posthumously released Sketches for My Sweetheart The Drunk.
		Like most of the tracks on Sketches, his voice is haunting in its beauty and alluring in its complexity.
		The release's second disc offers us an endlessly compelling "sketch" of an unfinished future, or at least an intersting look at the creative process of writing an album.

	Jeff Buckley - SKETCHES (for My Sweetheart, The Drunk) - May 26th
		What we've done with those "fl and white sketches" of the songs written for My Sweetheart the Drunk is to leave them as "works in progress".
		Throughout the entire process of compiling this album, my goal was to see that these works would go out as close to the way Jeff left them as possible.
		I believe with all my heart that my son will live among us as long as his songs are being played and sung.

	Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk
		Released one year after his drowning death, Jeff Buckley’s follow-up to his debut album, "Grace," is morbidly chilling when considered in its posthumous context.
		But "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" shouldn’t be judged simply by the story that it completes -- it should be heard
		"Sketches" is a musical tour de force, amended by a collection of four-track recordings that were intended for inclusion on Buckley’s next studio album -- a sad reminder of what could have been and the pain that often accompanies brilliance.

	Passion & pathos
		Writing about Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk) is to unavoidably reflect upon Jeff Buckley's life, tragic death (he drowned last year wading in the Mississippi River; his body hasn't been found) and his unfinished work-in-progress as epitaph.
		Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk) brings together, on two CDs, Buckley's last studio sessions with his band, along with solo, four-track home recordings intended for the album.
		The only constants are Buckley's voice (which throws itself all over the place, searching for a place to fall) and Michael Tighe's guitar playing (the perfect foil).

		The final "My Sweetheart The Drunk" is something we will never hear as Jeff intended, and that's the pity.
		Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk is so good, and, at the same time, so hard to listen to.
		My favourites on the disc 2 are perhaps "we could be so happy baby (if we wanted to be)", "murder suicide meteor slave", "demon john", and "Jewel Box", but all of the songs, except "your flesh is so nice" perhaps, are just unbelievable.

		Hearing the sketches of tracks illustrates in a morbid way how Jeff had so much more to prove, that the big empty in each song could've been filled but stands forever never fulfilling their capabilities.
		We can't hear the true My Sweetheart The Drunk, and the songs on the first CD were to be destroyed as JB hated them.
		Jeff spent most of time writing and producing for next album, Sketches For My Sweethaert The Drunk, though unfornately it was never completed.

		The posthumous "Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk)" contains music he had yet to put the final touches on, and while it too is a must, we are left only with "Grace" to truly signify what the world is sadly missing.

		When someone dies young, it's impossible not to see their life as shadowed by tragedy from the start; every misstep seems a harbinger, every victory a futile gesture against the darkness.
		But fairness was never an operating principle in his work--Jeff Buckley was an over-the-top romantic, and his two albums are full of hauntings and graspings at transcendence, which usually meantfucking as spiritual practice.
		The reasons are unclear, and the two remixes included on Sketches second disk are altered too slightly to clarify what his concerns were.

		The different mixes of 'Nightmare by the Sea' and especially of 'New Year's Prayer' that start this off are actually better than the mixes on the first CD.
