After several years during which I took the wooden flute as my main instrument, I finally admitted to myself that I was never going to make it fly. I did get reasonably good, but I was always running in treacle. A few months ago I picked up my beautiful acoustic guitar again, and she sang back to me. So I have returned to somewhere near where I started in amateur music, which is somewhere in the folk-blues line. Not that I want to compare myself with the following luminaries, but in that genre of John Fahey, Davy Graham, Bert Jansch, Martin Simpson…

Anyway this means that I have to start singing again, at least a bit, which brings me to the problem that I have a really rather crappy voice. A friend once kindly did say that if Tom Waits can get away with it, then perhaps I can. Not, again, that I want to compare myself to closely to Tom Waits.

So in search of ways that I might make my limited vocal talents in some way work, I'm looking for suggestions: white, male, acoustic folk-blues guitarists whose *singing* cuts the mustard. Who should I be listening to?
