Jeff Buckley's mom on the new documentary about her son


Listen Later

We've gotten more than a few chances to talk with special guests about a particular film they're involved in, but this episode takes things to a wonderful new level.

At the center of our discussion is the beautiful new documentary, It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews after its Sundance premiere. Through never-before-seen footage of Jeff, as well as interviews with people close to him, the film becomes a graceful retrospective on the gifted musician we lost far too soon.

Nobody understands that feeling better than Jeff Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert, and we were honored to speak with her for this episode. She shares the origin story of this deeply personal project that was decades in the making, and how she decided to put the story of her son in the hands of director Amy Berg.

We also hear about her earliest memories of Jeff's love for music, from singing Spanish nursery rhymes as a toddler to getting a Les Paul guitar that he practically slept with, and the nonprofit organization Road Recovery, which was inspired by Jeff's life to help at-risk youth turn tragedy into harmony through the power of music.

Stick around to the end to hear Guibert's answer to Dori's trademark question, as she reveals what "Scotty" --- as his mom still calls him --- would say his childhood smelled like.
