The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A "meticulously researched" dual biography on the lives and artistry of the father and son musicians whose lives were each cut short ( Chicago Tribune). 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. Praise for Dream Brother "Ambitious.... Uses a wealth of reportage to depict convincingly two generations of pop music turmoil." - Washington Post "An extraordinarily detailed account of the Buckleys' personal and professional lives... Browne's book is a seamless, readable narrative.... He's not just a fine journalist but a natural storyteller." - Boston Globe "Captures their respective legacies with the same kind of poetic sweep the Buckleys offered with their music." - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
