Bob Dylan’s many archival sets showcase the same phenomenon all the time, but unlike Dylan, Buckley was anything but prolific as a songwriter he interpreted more songs than he wrote. That’s part of why collections such as this hold so much value: They show how songs breathe and evolve, and help explain how their creation can unfold over the course of many years. When the final version of “You and I” was released posthumously on 1998’s Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk, it had fleshed out the ideas and sounds explored here - but it was still technically unfinished, which means Buckley spent roughly four years translating an evocative moment from a barely remembered dream into something he still couldn’t quite embrace.
