In 1997, Buckley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to resume work on the album, to be titled My Sweetheart the Drunk, recording many four-track demos while also playing weekly solo shows at a local venue. In 1996, they stopped touring and made sporadic attempts to record Buckley's second album in New York City with Tom Verlaine as the producer. Over the following three years, the band toured extensively to promote Grace, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia.


After rebuffing interest from record labels and Herb Cohen-the manager of his father, singer Tim Buckley - he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace, in 1994. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by performing cover songs at venues in East Village, Manhattan, such as Sin-é, while gradually focusing more on his own material. Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scott Moorhead, was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
