While he was in the midst of recording his debut record, 'Grace', Jeff Buckley was stopped in his tracks by an unwelcome comparison to a legendary musician. Often likened to his father, Tim Buckley, Jeff struggled to carve out his own path in the music industry. Despite this, his rendition of 'Lilac Wine' remains a standout track that showcases his raw talent and emotional depth.

Centred around good vino and wood-fired cooking, Lilac is the latest neighborhood-friendly wine haunt gracing the backstreets of Cremorne. The cozy ambiance and carefully curated wine selection make it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a glass of your favorite vintage.

You've had over a year now to come to terms with the fact that Penn Badgley, the dude from Gossip Girl, is portraying Jeff Buckley in the upcoming biopic. While some may have reservations about his casting, others are eager to see how he brings Jeff's story to life on the big screen.

He is the lead in Greetings from Tim Buckley, which was filmed last summer. As the title suggests, the movie focuses on Jeff's relationship to his estranged father, shedding light on the complexities of their bond and the impact it had on his music.

I used to love the singer with the dextrous voice and the twinkle in his eye. Now, 10 years after his death, I've realized the truth - Jeff Buckley was a musical genius whose legacy continues to inspire artists and fans alike.

Miley Cyrus releases 'Lilac Wine' cover. Does it trump her Backyard Sessions? The pop star's soulful rendition of this classic song pays homage to Jeff Buckley's timeless music and showcases her vocal range in a new light.

A fascinating American pop cultural fable, yet to receive a worthy cinematic adaptation, the life and career of Jeff Buckley is as saturated with tragedy as it is with beauty. His untimely death at the age of 30 left behind a legacy that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
