Stringsinger Burl Ives the musician (instrumentalist)? (46) RE: Burl Ives the musician ? 02 Jun 19

Burl was a singer par-excellence. He sang Schuber Leider and studied with a Metropolitan Opera singing coach. His singing to sparse guitar won him standing ovations and many encores. He was a central figure in the popularization of the folk revival. He made you realize that to sing folk songs you don't have to be an instrumental virtuoso on guitar. Simple is better. Less is more. Yes, he was very much a musician.
