Jeff Buckley – Inside a Beautiful Tragedy

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Jeff Buckley died in 1997 at just 30 years old, leaving behind only a handful of recordings but a huge impression on his fans. In the decades since, the mythology of the singer-songwriter hasn’t really faded. Buckley didn’t leave a long catalogue behind, but what he did leave was enough to make him a legend. This week, Miranda sits down with music Journalist Jude Rogers to talk about Buckley’s legacy, the lasting impact of his only full album Grace, and his haunting version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, which brought a new audience to the song. Jude also reflects on her own complicated history with Buckley, including an infamous article she wrote for The Guardian in 2007. • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
