``So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley''

(SonyBMG)

When Jeff Buckley tragically drowned at the age of 30 in 1997, the music world mourned the loss of a promising talented singer-songwriter. Ten years have passed since his death but Buckley's music still lives on.

Old and new fans have a chance to listen to Buckley's raw but enchanting voice with this new compilation of his greatest hits. The album features 14 tracks from his two studio albums such as the ``Last Goodbye,'' ``Everyone Here Wants You'' and ``Lover, You Should've Come Over.'' It also includes a live version of ``So Real,'' recorded in a concert in Japan; and a cover version of The Smiths' ``I Know it's Over.''
