I think some singers hate tunes because they have had bad experiences with musicians, just as the same as musicians resent singers sometimes,I personally enjoy singers in sessions (im a instrumentalist btw) just as I enjoy musicians going for it in a session. However the only time I get really pissed off is when your playing in a really upbeat session, the songs are up beat (usually rousing chorus's) the tunes are happy...then disaster strikes, a depressive atmosphere mudrering singer comes along and sings something depressingly slow,unenthusiastic and boring.
Dont get me wrong I love a slow number, but not when it goes against the whole feeling of the night.
has anyone else come across this?
