For today's music feature we're talking about today, a musician who released just one album in his short lifetime, but it's an album often considered among the greatest of all time. Jeff Buckley was a guitarist, singer, songwriter who tragically died at the age of 30 in 1997.

A few years prior he released his one and only album 'Grace', and in the decades since its release its popularity has only risen, as has the mystique surrounding Buckley, his unique songwriting and remarkable voice. Musicologist Josh Ellery joins Jesse to talk about the enduring legacy of Jeff Buckley.
