Dream Brother
Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley | David Browne
4 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
When Jeff Buckley drowned at the age of thirty in 1997, he not only left behind a legacy of brilliant music -- he brought back haunting memories of his father, '60s troubadour Tim Buckley, a gifted musician who barely knew his son and who himself died at twenty-eight. Both father and son made transcendent music that mixed rock, jazz, and folk; both amassed a cadre of obsessive, adoring fans. This absorbing dual biography -- based on interviews with more than one hundred friends, family members, and business associates as well as access to journals and unreleased recordings -- tells for the first time the intriguing, often heartbreaking story of these two musicians. It offers a new understanding of the Buckleys' parallel lives -- and tragedies -- while exploring the changing music business between the '60s and the '90s. Finally, it tells the story of a father and son, two complex, enigmatic men who died searching for themselves and each other.

#JuneTunz #day7 #Hallelujah Catching up on yesterday's prompt, my phone went dead last night☠️. This is a biography of the man who sang Hallelujah the best, Jeff Buckley. His version of the song always makes me stop, take a deep breath & marvel that such an angelic voice existed in the world, and then sorrow that he was taken too soon. #RIPJeff

batsy Love him. Need to read this... 7y

#augustofpages #augustphotochallenge #day21 #booksandmusic Pt2. Though, like I said on my previous post, my tastes run the gamut, if pressed I'd have to say this musical genius & poet is my lyrical God, muse & obsession. His lyrics are beauty, his interpretation of others music is amazing & he had the face & voice of an angel. When I need to feel, Grace is the music I feel it to. RIP Jeff, you were taken too soon but your passion lives on.🎙💿🤘

Suzze When I was in high school I saw Tim Buckley in person and he became my passion. I think I know every word to every one of his songs. Of course, I had to try his son's music and loved it as well! Both gone too young. 💜💜💜 8y
