Possibly duga. We'll never know though.

Grace is a good record and so is Mystery White boy. Got them both. TBH that's all I've heard so cannot comment on anything more he may have done. But what he had was an amazing potential but so has everybody in something be it music or another artform.

That's my point in a way. If he lived and simply decided to stop performing nobody would have give a **** apart from possibly complimenting his couple of albums to date and sporadic bits you mention.

I do realise he was very talented. A wonderful Voice and for me the two versions of Eternal Life on both albums mentioned are amongst my favourite Guitar Tunes of alltime.
As it happens about 5 years ago Urban Hatemonger helped me identify Buckley's Eternal Life.
