Huh?

If you're asking "Why is a man singing a 'woman's' song, why not? A lot of performers do that, tho' I don't think as often as women sing 'men's' songs. MJH certainly did it on "Richlands Woman" and with a little while to think about it I'm sure I could come up with lots of others — especially some of the old murder ballads.
