180 Gram Triple LP!
Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk is the collection of studio tracks and four-track demos recorded by Jeff Buckley in the summer of 1996 and early 1997. Buckley had been working on an album to be called My Sweetheart, the Drunk, but the album had yet to be finished at the time of his death. It was released posthumously in May 1998. Given the raw and somewhat unfinished nature of the songs, the collection that was released was called Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.
The album's original sessions were produced by television frontman Tom Verlaine. Despite its unfinished state, the album received many positive reviews. After the audiophile releases of Grace, The Grace EP's and Mystery White Boy, this release on Music on Vinyl completes the series of available Jeff Buckley studio material.
This 3LP audiophile set is housed in a firm 5mm sleeve and features a lyrics sheet and three printed innersleeves, including a detailed biography of one of the most influential singer/songwriters of the last decades.
"The material isn't necessarily a progression from Grace; it's more like a stripped-down, edgier take on the sweeping, jazz-tinged goth folk-rock that made the first album so distinctive... Sketches adds several wonderful songs to his catalog, offering further proof of his immense talent. And that, of course, is what makes the album as sad as it is exciting." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
