I wouldn't have said Jeff Buckley was country influenced.  He was more
sort of dreamy Led Zep sort of Sting kind of Ella Fitzgerald.  He had
one of the most incredible voices that I've ever heard.  I was lucky
enough to see him in 1995 and he was splendid.  I always thought he
would go on to be a total megastar cos he pretty much had it all -
songs, voice, looks you know.  Such a waste upsets me greatly.

I'll have to lighten the mood now
