Just Like Jeff Buckley

Elsewhere on these pages you’ll find Jeff Buckley’s rather excellent version of Dylan’s ‘Mama You Been On My Mind’. That track remains the most downloaded song from Plain Or Pan?, and helped catapult my blog into the dizzy heights of ‘3rd fastest growing music blog on the ‘net for January’. So, thanks!

Today, I’m posting Jeff Buckley‘s version of ‘Just like A Woman’. Like ‘Mama You Been On My Mind’, it was recorded at Bearsville Studios, New York State (?) in September 1993 at the sessions for the Grace album. It features just Jeff and his Telecaster-played-through-Fender-twin-reverb and sounds beautiful. He kinda makes this his own song, which of course is the mark of a good cover.

Just a quick note – the vocals are slightly distorted in places, but I guess that as this was a recorded-in-progress demo, the engineer had little or no time to adjust the levels accordingly. But that shouldn’t spoil your enjoyment of what is an excellent performance.

For all you trainspotters, I have also included a shorter version that fades out here.

Coming soon – If You See Her, Say Hello and another couple of Mama You Been On My Mind outtakes! Drop by again!

  6. Hi I just found your website today regarding the post on Jeff Buckley. Just want to say that that the man was a genius of a songwriter. Ahead of his time, and i love listning to him. But i have never come across the Glastonbury album. I tried to listen on the links but they are all down. Would it be too much to ask if you could send me the files to my email. I have to hear this album and can’t find anyway to get it. Would be much appreciated. Thanks.
