    Liner Notes
    "We recorded the last performances for this album - by Gavin Friday and Jeff Buckley - on the evening of February 13, 1997. Jeff was moving to Memphis the next day. Allen Ginsberg, a friend of both Gavin and Jeff, came by to visit and ended up coaching Jeff. The result is a beautiful reading, full of innocence and discovery. Within a few months both Allen and Jeff would be gone, events that I have not really accepted yet. They were both rare creatures of this earth and the memory of the two of them working together that night will remain with me forever. I miss them terribly. This album is dedicated to Jeff and Allen."
    Hal Willner
    Venice, California
    August 1997

    Quotes
    "[...] Of the many striking voices rounded up to sing and read the works of Edgar Allan Poe [...] none tears at the heart with the marvelous terror of the late Jeff Buckley [...]"
