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. 'My Sweetheart The Drunk' was going to be Jeff coming into his own, truly. The resulting 'Sketches' of an album, are shadows of brilliance, and in many cases are brilliant all by themself. Most of the love songs on here are about Jeff's long time girlfriend Rebecca Moore. Since 1997, Guibert has overseen a steady stream of posthumous Buckley releases. “So now you can buy Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, the two-disc set cobbled together from the Grace follow-up sessions Buckley had barely begun,” the Houston Press wrote in an unsentimental 2004 article called “ Die, Jeff Buckley, Die!

Amy Winehouse at Glastonbury. The new album features songs recorded over nine years. Picture: AFPSource:AFP
"DEATH is a career move," trumpeted U2 on their 1993 Zooropa tour via Jenny Holzer's arresting visuals.
It’s true, whether the artist died of natural causes or, ahem, “other.”
2PAC, Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and many more have plenty of posthumous releases but are they fitting tributes or a grubby cash-in?
On the eve of Amy Winehouse’s Lioness: Hidden Treasures album, let’s have a look at 10 albums made up of songs that were stitched together by producers and loved ones from either the cutting room floor or in various stages of completion.
A celebration of great art or a noxious release of sonic flatulence?
TRIBUTE
1. Jeff Buckley – Sketches For (My Sweetheart The Drunk)
Jeff Buckley Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk Rar Download Full
Just like his super-talented father Tim, Jeff Buckley trundled off to the great big gig in the sky much too early. But he’d left enough song “sketches” (sorry) for a double album, guided by producers Tom Verlaine (Television) and mixed by the likes of Andy Wallace. The title was intended by his mother and sole heir of his estate, Mary Guibert, to be rendered with parentheses, as Sketches for (My Sweetheart the Drunk) because it was incomplete. Everybody Here Wants You, an acute observation of a girl out of everyone’s league at a party, became a single of sorts and filled Triple J’s airwaves with Buckley’s ethereal yearning once more.

Best song: New Year’s Prayer.
2. Nirvana – Unplugged in New York (1993)
Recorded six months before Cobain disproved his lyric “And I swear that I don’t have a gun,” this stands up as the most moving Unplugged performance of all, nudging out R.E.M, Alice In Chains and Lauryn Hill. Cobain’s guitar work is diamond sharp but still ragged and tatty like his cardigan. Covers of songs by David Bowie, Lead Belly and The Meat Puppets are played with panache and pathos and you can hear Kurt is mortally hurt, sick of checking in each day and just about ready to check out.
Best song: Jesus Don’t Want Me For A Sunbeam.
3. Otis Redding – Love Man (1969)
Poor Otis Redding didn’t even get to the infamous age of 27 before dying in a plane crash. He had just played ebullient new numbers Try A Little Tenderness and These Arms of Mine to a fresh fan base at the Monterey Pop Festival only months before he died but the biggest song of all was Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, Redding’s only number one single. What a pity he never got to experience the success it would have bought/brought him. On a sidenote, Michael Bolton began his career with a stirring, strained version of ‘Dock of The Bay that may sound a bit much now but at the time he introduced another generation – including yours truly during my Smash Hits Hit Songwords phase – to Redding’s magic.
Best song: Sitting On The Dock of The Bay.
4. Janis Joplin - Pearl (1971)
AHHH Janis, you cray cray genius. Released a year after heroin ended up being the cause of Joplin’s death (she was rather fond of a vice or eight) Pearl’s oysters included Me and Bobby McGee, Mercedes Benz and Move Over. By all reports, Joplin had actually started tempering her wild ways and stopped being so vicious to herself and others. She had demons a’plenty but at least when she looks down with the other angels she’d be pleased her last album was a miraculous success.
Best song: Mercedes Benz.
5. Ray Charles – Genius Loves Company (2004)
Xp dt108b driver for mac. And what a genius he is. With Charles in charge, his duets with Natalie Cole, Elton John, James Taylor, Norah Jones, B.B. King, Gladys Knight, Diana Krall, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt all hit the mark. Recorded pretty much right up until his death, Charles went down swinging and smiling. In the words of Tenacious D: “Tribute!”
Best song: You Don’t Know Me with Dianna Krall.
CASH-IN
1. 2Pac – Until The End of Time (2001)
UNLIKE 2Pac’s Greatest Hits which included new songs like non-odious ode to Notorious B.I.G God Bless the Dead, this 2001 mess came five years after 2Pac had his body with riddled with bullets. And it’s a record riddled with faults. Until the End of Time is the fourth (!) posthumous album and by this stage they were probably trying to retrieve messages he’d left on people’s phones and “goo-goo ga-gas” from old family videos.
Worst song: Let ‘Em Have It (bad advice, record company clowns).
2. Michael Hutchence – Self-titled (1999)
IRONY’s a bitch. When Michael Hutchence was found hanging in that Sydney hotel the single INXS had sitting in record stores was Don’t Lose Your Head (!) from the album Elegantly Wasted (!!). Cruel. His solo record didn’t do him any favours either but it did at least contain a passable duet where Bono joins him for Slide Away.
Worst song: Don’t Save Me From Myself.
3. Notorious B.I.G – Born Again (1999)
Born Again? Really? Like he found Jebus? No. More like the record company that shall remain nameless (it was Bad Boy Records) found a small amount of Biggie’s recorded vocals and then tried shoving round pegs into square holes via a bunch of guests like Puffy on songs like Would You Die For Me? (cheap!) and a just-plain-nauseous spoken word outro by his mother Voletta Wallace that’s all twang no bang. Bad Boy Diddy!

Worst song: Who Shot Ya?
4. Michael Jackson – Michael (2010)
Despite the fact he had a great name for the record (oh stop it), this record was largely ignored…just as it should have been. The excavation process unearthed icky eulogies like Much Too Soon and others that lack the vintage, slamming sound Quincy Jones brought to Jackson’s purple patch in the ‘80s. Much Too Soon? Yes it is. Guilty of a cash-in? Just like his doctor.
Worst Song: Hold My Hand with Akon.
5. Michael Jackson – Immortal (2001)
Jeff Buckley Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk Rar Downloader
No, he’s not. Neither are these “Immortal remixes” of hits like Wanna Be Startin’ Something. Gah! Let Wacko sleep!!
Worst song: All of it.
