Biography:
Those lines take on a haunting, horrific nature now. It's as if some two or three years ago Jeff Buckley wrote his own epitaph: now they echo a sad, painful, farewell.
Jeff Buckley, 30-year-old genius of a singer/songwriter/guitarist, and son of the great and legendary Tim Buckley - a father whose shadow haunted, taunted and perhaps, ultimately, consumed him - is dead, drowned in an offshoot of the mighty Mississippi River in Memphis. The last time he was seen alive he was swimming on his back, fully clothed, singing. Perhaps, that is the memory those who loved his music, his astonishing songs and incredible, incendiary voice - so like that of his father - should cherish.
On May 28th, 1998, the 30 year old Buckley was wading in the water near Memphis Tennessee, his friend turned away from him, and when he turned back, Jeff was gone. His body was found several days later, a victim of drowning. Another amazing young artist taken before his time. All that is left is the amazing music he released, which is here for you to enjoy.
