Alex Wilding Looking for singer suggestions (19) RE: Looking for singer suggestions 19 Sep 12


"Do you mean you want reccomendations of white male singers who were really good, or white male singers who made the best of their idiosyncratic vocal "talents"?"

The second. Actually I don't think my range is much of a problem. It's not athletically impressive, but I have from G, to D' with reasonable comfort. Like Matt, the higher I go the less I like it. And heaven forfend lest I should find somebody to try to "copy". But I am interested in white, male, blues-influenced singer-guitarists who have found ways of making a perhaps limited voice "work" for them.

Although, if I may say so, Bert Jansch could not sing for toffee. I say that with great respect, as it was wearing a couple of his LPs flat that informed my first explorations of the guitar. But I have seen people who did not know his work start to look very uncomfortable indeed once he opened his mouth.
