Jeff Buckley released the 1994 album Grace, which features the song "Last Goodbye." The question identifies the album's release year as 1998 in some regional contexts, but the original studio album was released in 1994; therefore the canonical answer is Jeff Buckley and the fact concerns Grace itself.
Buckley recorded the album with guitarist Michael Tighe, bassist Mick Grøndahl, and drummer Matt Johnson. The music combines alternative rock with folk, blues, jazz, and vocal influences, giving the record a wide stylistic range.
Grace was Buckley's only completed studio album released during his lifetime. It includes "Last Goodbye," "Lover, You Should've Come Over," and his version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Buckley died in 1997, before the album gained much of its later critical reputation.
