Jeff Buckley spent his life trying to escape the shadow of his estranged father, folk musician Tim Buckley.

Rolling Stone editor David Browne, author of Dream Brother and Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice, joins Erin and Elizabeth to discuss the Buckley legacy and why Grace still haunts new listeners three decades later.
