Jeff Buckley: Fall in Light1999

Michael Clouse:
Jeff didn't want to be a product. He didn't want to be known as somebody who was put together and packaged and put out there by the label. These were things that record companies had done and continue to this day to do with their artists... these promotional shows, whatever it was, that Jeff didn't want to do. So I think there was a lot of strife in his life over those things. But again, this is Jeff. Jeff could have been far more successful in the popular sense had he followed the record machine, had he given himself over to that. But Jeff would never do that, which is why I think today Jeff is more popular overseas than he is in the United States - where less of the hype and more of the artist's talent is on display.
