Subject: RE: Little Hawk on video 'Takes a lot to...'
Good points Little Hawk. His voice really never bothered me since the words were so good. I think what he has done in recent years is very exciting, his band is very tight and works to his strengths. He puts on a damn fine show.
People used to say the same thing about Lead Belly. His diction wasn't clear and many of the recordings that we hear were poorly recorded. Yet the man was clearly a genius and a huge influence. Somebody got it!
I'd love to hear more of your music, keep it up! While it is clear that Dylan has infuenced you, I detect your own personality coming through and your arrangements, while close, are clearly your own.
