Anyone read this book? Amazing Biography of Jeff & Tim Buckley.

Really sad, and I almost wish that I never read it. I am AMAZED that Jeff went into the studio to record Sketches STILL owing his record label money for Grace!!!

I doubt that's unusual. First albums rarely sell enough to cover promotion.

Dreambrother is a must read for serious Jeff fans. Also recommended for Tim Buckley fans or those interested in who Jeff's dad was: Blue Melody: 'Tim Buckley Remembered' by Lee Underwood (Tim's lead guitarist of many years).

Wow thats a coincidence, I just finished reading it yesterday.

It was fascinating. I never realised just how much pressure Jeff was under towards the end from Columbia, and I guess from himself. Like Justin said, I didnt realise that he was so pushed for cash either.

Although I have to admit I didn't read the final chapter before Jeff's death.

I've always wanted to read it, but I havn't been able to get a copy. The girl who I know who had it moved far away, so I might have to go and buy it eventually.
