JEFF BUCKLEY IN MEMPHIS
jeff-buckley-in-MemphisMystery White delivery Boy. Jeff Buckley verdronk op 29 mei 1997 in de Wolf River, een zijarm van de Mississippi bij Memphis. En daarmee raakte de popmuziek een van de grootste talenten uit de jaren negentig kwijt. Buckley was naar de muziekstad gegaan om zijn tweede album op te nemen, maar ook om te vluchten. Weg van de druk van de muziekindustrie, weg van alles en iedereen om zich te kunnen focussen op de opvolger van zijn debuutplaat Grace. Het nieuwe album heeft Buckley zelf nooit kunnen voltooien. De dood van de zanger is nog altijd omgeven door mysterie en speculatie. Journalist René Sommer en fotograaf Bob Bronshoff gingen in Memphis op zoek naar de verhalen.

TRANSLATION:
Drowned on May 29, 1997 in the Wolf River, a tributary of the Mississippi River near Memphis. And with that, pop music lost one of the greatest talents of the 1990s. Buckley had gone to the music city to record his second album, but also to flee. Away from the pressure of the music industry, away from everything and everyone to be able to focus on the successor to his debut album Grace. Buckley was never able to complete the new album himself. The singer's death is still shrouded in mystery and speculation. Journalist René Sommer and photographer Bob Bronshoff went in search of the stories in Memphis. WAHWAH 6 (2007) ISBN: 9789046800942
