Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley -- David Browne

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> David Browne<br><b>Publisher:</b> It Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/08/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.28w x 0.94d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780380806249<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 01/25/2002 pg. 97
