Music Box: It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley covers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the ‘90s music world reeling when he died suddenly at age 30 after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album “Grace.” Told through never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, and former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, Music Box: It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley illuminates one of modern music’s influential and enigmatic figures.
Buckley launched his career at a tribute to his late father, folk musician Tim Buckley, but quickly became a rising star himself and signed with Columbia Records. His only studio album, “Grace,” was released to rave reviews and challenged conventional ideas of genre and gender. His intimate and influential cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” further catapulted him to fame. Under pressure to produce his second album, he retreated to Memphis to escape the spotlight and the ever-growing glare of the public eye. In a tragic accident, Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis in 1997, leaving behind an unfinished second album and devastated family, friends, and fans. An intimate portrait of Buckley, the documentary celebrates his timeless body of work.
