Wolf River

In 1997, Buckley was in Memphis recording a follow-up to his smash hit debut album, Grace.

One summer's afternoon, Buckley, along with his friend Keith Foti, were winding down by the banks of the Wolf River, a tributary off the Mississippi.

The singer decided to get in the water.

However, he jumped in fully clothed, not bothering to remove his T-shirt, jeans, or combat boots.

So I would imagine they might follow the Mississippi river corridor.

And then once they get there, they might, um, hop onto the Wolf river.

Um, because, um, I think the Wolf river corridor is actually a really underrated, um, section of wildlife, um, because it's such, um, it's undevelopable, um, bottom land, hardwood forest.

Um, just on some of my walks, I've seen armadillo, um, dozens of Turkey.

I've seen bobcat kittens all manner of birds so it's quite a nice place um so i'd imagine the bears if they do come would probably come up through west uh mississippi and then over through the right i imagine that's probably i mean i don't know if you remember about 10 years ago there was a bear sighting in fraser

Yeah.

And then he just decided to go swimming in the Wolf River.

At 9 o'clock at night.

And then he got taken under they say a tugboat came by and the undertow dragged him under dudes in his 30s good health He had no drugs in his system.

There's no reason for him to do an impromptu swim in the Wolf River except they took out Bill Colby
