Jeff Buckley: Unreleased Song

Ozark Melody (Music by Frederick Reed and Jeff Buckley, Lyrics by Joe Tripician)

Joe Tripican explains the song thus:
"Jeff Buckley recorded the song "Ozark Melody" with me and my musical partner Fred Reed in the summer of 1996. While I wrote the lyrics, Jeff and Fred worked out the tune, strummed mandolin and guitar, and recorded the entire song in one breakneck four-hour session. Jeff received wide acclaim and notoriety with his 1994 debut album "Grace" (Sony Records). His death in 1997 shocked everyone who knew him and loved his music. Jeff loved recording this alien song. Everything fascinated him, including aliens and UFOs. During the session I could see, behind his incredible musical virtuosity, a mad and mischievous twinkle in his eye."
