Grace won appreciation from a host of revered musicians and artists, including members of Buckley's biggest influence, Led Zeppelin. [27] Jimmy Page considered Grace close to being his "favorite album of the decade". [28] Robert Plant was also complimentary, [29] as was Brad Pitt, saying of Buckley's work, "There's an undercurrent to his music, there's something you can't pinpoint. Like the best of films, or the best of art, there's something going on underneath, and there's a truth there. And I find his stuff absolutely haunting. It just... it's under my skin." [30] Others who had influenced Buckley's music lauded him: [31] Bob Dylan named Buckley "one of the great songwriters of this decade", [29] and David Bowie considered Grace to be the best album ever made, and had said it would be one of his ten "Desert Island Records." [32]

After he signed with Columbia in the fall of 1992, Jeff treated himself to a few pieces of gear—a new acoustic guitar, a small amp, and, seen here, a used harmonium. A portable keyboard operated by way of a pump that pushes air into it, the harmonium is prevalent in Qawwali, the South Asian devotional music that made such an impression on Jeff when he first came to New York. Part of Jeff's devotion to Qawwali involved learning how to play the instrument, which can be heard on the introduction of "Lover, You Should've Come Over (as well as on a cover of Van Morrison's "Madame George" cut during his 1993 session with producer Steve Addabbo). He also purchased language tapes to properly learn Urdu. Jeff could be seen walking around New York with this harmonium under his arm, wrapped in a blanket.
