Jeff Buckley's doe-eyed good looks and exceptional musicianship made him
a Gen X poster boy and the object of reverent admiration from rock's
aristocracy. His ethereal yet powerful voice forever changed the
landscape of popular music, and his short but intensely lived life has
crystallized into an enduring rock'n'roll legend. Jeff Buckley
explores the rocker's life and legacy in unprecendented detail. It
recounts his self-described trailer trash upbringing and long years of
hand-to-mouth struggle through his emergence as the most acclaimed
singer/songwriter of the mid-1990s and the preliminary recording
sessions for his never-completed second album. More than a decade after
his tragic accidental death, Buckley's myth has lost none of its
potency. Steeped in melancholia and excess, his story is retold here
through the memories of those who knew him best, making Jeff Buckley a
captivating narrative of rock'n'roll dreams, burning ambition, and
doomed youth.
