The voices of dead musicians

I read two articles about dead musicians that seemed related.

Julianne Escobedo Shepherd offered a write-up of a new documentary about Jeff Buckley, which places his admiration for women singers in context, making his chameleonic voice seem even more beautiful in retrospect. I'll be checking out that doc as soon as I can.

Elsewhere, John Darnielle (of the Mountain Goats fame) eschews the classic obituarian list of achievements and instead writes about how Ozzy Osbourne's voice makes you feel.

Good stuff.
